Number of __new (first calving) __daughters considered in the last available national genetic evaluation in each year, where YYYY is the year of the most recent routine genetic evaluation run whose results will be included in the international evaluation. 4. Mean year of first calving of daughters on which the bull’s national evaluation in year YYYY-4 was based. 5. Same information as shown in bytes 186-277 in the file with record type=010, but pertaining to the last available national genetic evaluation for dairy-production traits in year YYYY-4, where YYYY is the year of the most recent routine genetic evaluation run whose results will be included in the international evaluation. __General:__ If numbers of daughters are the same for protein as for milk/fat, information must be repeated (do not leave it blank).
