It consists of two steps a computing coefficients of determination CD of comparisons among groups of animals and b building sets of connected groups. The CD of comparisons were estimated using a sampling-based method that estimates empirical variances of true and predicted breeding values from a simulated n-sample. A clustering method that may handle a large number of comparisons and build compact clusters of connected groups was developed. An aggregation criterion Caco that reflects the level of connectedness of each herd was computed. This procedure was validated using a small beef data set. It was applied to the French genetic evaluation of the beef breed with most records and to the genetic evaluation of goats. Caco was more related to the type of service of sires used in the herds than to herd size. It was very sensitive to the percentage of missing sires. Disconnected herds were reliably identified by low values of Caco. In France this procedure is the reference method for evaluating connectedness among the herds involved in on-farm genetic evaluation of beef cattle IBOVAL since 2002 and for genetic evaluation of goats from 2007 onwards. connectedness clustering BLUP accuracy 1.
