Sera from 6 annual herd tests were analyzed by agar-gel immunodiffusion test for antibodies to bovine leukemia virus. Odds of being seropositive were analyzed by use of stepwise and backward logistic regression procedures. Analysis within birth year revealed that estimated in odds increased by 0.19/year of age among cows of the high genetic line and by 0.43 among cows of the average genetic line. This was accompanied by a more important cohort effect among high producers than among average producers.
