Prediction of sire transmitting abilities for herd life from transmitting abilities for linear type traits
TL;DR: Direct prediction of herd life from type had a maximum reliability of .56, but it was more reliable than direct prediction with 75 or fewer effective progeny, and predictions from the weights are equivalent to those from a multiple-trait BLUP model with herd life as a correlated but unobserved trait.
