beefblup is a program for ranchers to calculate expected breeding
|
|
values (EBVs) for their own beef cattle. It is intended to be usable by anyone
|
|
without requiring any prior knowledge of computer programming or linear algebra.
|
|
Why? It's part of my effort to

|
|
1. The trait you wish to calculate EBVs for always goes in the rightmost column
|
|
2. If you wish to add more contemporary group traits to your analysis, include them before the rightmost column
|
|
2. Save and close
|
|
3. In your file explorer, copy the address of the "beefblup" folder
|
|
4. Launch Julia

## For Programmers
|
|
|
|
> **Also Note:** beefblup was written on, and has only been tested with Julia
|
|
> v1.2.0 and higher. While this shouldn't affect most everyday users, it might
|
|
> affect you if you are stuck on the current LTS version of Julia (v1.0.5).
