Abstract
Computing best lincar unbiased predictions of the random elements of the mixed linear models are less simple and time consuming task. Though it was considered to be most efficient method, to determine genetic values of livestock. First use of this method was in dairy cattle. The method now is used also in beef cattle and swine. This paper describes its procedures and computing techniques, using the model to assess dams in the Chiangmai University White Lamphun cattle herd for weaning weight. The described computing techniques, however, can be used for any other mixed linear model as well.
