The Animal Data Centre (ADC) is responsible for producing linear type evaluations for the Ayrshire, Shorthorn, Jersey, Guernsey, Jersey Island and Guernsey Island breeds. Along with publication of breeding values (BV's), it is important to provide farmers and organisations in the industry with information on genetic trends in conformation to establish the effect of selection and determine future selection strategies. As selection goals in conformation are not as clear as in production traits, it is important to analyse each trait to find out how breeds are developing. The objective of the study was therefore to analyse linear type evaluations in order to determine the trends in the traits classified.
