Aside from ASReml, there are a few free R and non-R programs that can be 
used to fit a multi-trait mixed model (I reckon it is always nice to get 
two different packages to give the same answer :)). These include:

Sabre (http://sabre.lancs.ac.uk/) and
RSabre (http://sabre.lancs.ac.uk/sabreRuse_intro.html)

Wombat (http://didgeridoo.une.edu.au/km/wombat.php)

MatVec (perhaps http://statistics.unl.edu/faculty/steve/software/matvec/)

DMU (http://www.dmu.agrsci.dk/)

Mendel (http://www.genetics.ucla.edu/software/mendel)

The last four are genetics packages, but they will happily run this 
problem.
