Abstract
The most important identifiable rela- tionships among sires used in artificial insemination are due to common sires and maternal grandsires. A rapid method for finding the inverse of a numerator relationship matrix resulting from use of these two points in the pedigree has been developed. As a consequence, relation- ships among all sires to be evaluated can be incorporated easily into best linear unbiased prediction of future progeny of these sires.Keywords
