	abstract = {Accuracy of selection is an important feature for all
breeding programs and genetic evaluation systems, with
genetic gain influenced by the accuracy of the breeding
values and by the selection decisions taken by the breeder.
Accuracy of estimated breeding values (eBVs) are affected
by the amount and quality of the pedigree and performance
data recorded. With increasing use of breeding values
based on across{\textendash}flock analyses, the impact of various data
recording practises used in sheep flocks needs investigation
to ensure practises by any particular breeder do not
adversely affect the whole analysis.},
