[R-sig-ME] MCMCglmm and estimated breeding values

Hello,

Does rbv in MCMCglmm provide estimated breeding values? What does the 
"random" in Random Estimation of breeding values mean? Sorry but I can't 
find documentation on this. If this is not a way to get EBVs, is there a 
way?

How do I specify which trait I want breeding values for?

The syntax suggested in the MCMCglmm documentation gives an opportunity 
to give a pedigree name, but not a trait, or information about the model 
just fitted.

Thanks,
Liz
