ya'll don't know either??
Not totally sure what you are asking.
In the Simmental breed, a bull has to exceed in a EPD trait AND have high Accuracies. If he qualifies to be a trait leader in more than one trait, he's a multiple trait leader????

well, multiple trait leaders don't seem to actually lead in any traits... for instance multiple train leader WM Ali Star has epd bw 0.5; ww 44; yw 78; mlk 17; mtl 39.
breed highs are -5.6; 47.7; 83.8; 21.9; 37.6..

Generally, a trait leader will be in a top percentile (5, 10, 15, or 25%) for the breed. If that's not the case, the animal may be on of the top ranking animals in the breed. If an association has 1000 bulls registered, the top 50 could probably be considered trait leaders. I'm sure there are variances between associations. When breed associations speak of trait leaders, they're generally not speaking of only the #1 animal in that particular trait. With Beefmasters, I believe the rank the top 15 and call them trait leaders.
