Hi - I have attempted to do this but it was quite tricky and the results
unsatisfactory for the data I had. You can see documentation for what I
did here:

I would certainly be interested to hear if anyone can think of a better
approach.

Hi, 
When analysing data fitting animal model genetic groups or phantom
parents are assumed fixed in ASREML. I want to check the solutions if I
fit genetic groups as random. One way to do that is to assume that they
are  animals. But that may not appropriate. Is there a way to fit
genetic groups as random? 
Thanks, 
Mekonnen
