The July/August 2014 Issue of the Register published by www.simmental.org has an article on "Changes to TraitTrac Reporting".
The article is authored by Jackie Atkins, Ph.D., ASA Director of Science and Education. It is illustrated with views of the screen you use when you view the TraitTrac online.
Here is a direct quote from the article that explains why the changes were made;
While the existing TraitTrac has worked well for years, the color coding gave a false impression that "green" animals are clear of genetic defects- they are only clear of the ones we know about.
It is well worth a read.
