As shown in bytes 4-63 in the file with record type=016. 3. 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 64-75 in the file with record type=016, but pertaining to the last available national genetic evaluation for milk somatic cells and clinical mastitis in 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 the four traits, information must be repeated (do not leave it blank).
