Ultimate certainly represents the “Ultimate” in maternal performance. The top indexing boar in his contemporary group, his EPDs of 0.9 NBA and 9.7 LWT along with 119.2 SPI, 146.0 MLI and 162.0 TSI are some of the highest ever recorded by a Yorkshire. The performance is no fluke. Ultimate is sired by the immortal Ulf 166 who set the standard for superior sow productivity. Ultimate’s dam 4-
4 was previously the number 1 ranking sow in the Yorkshire breed on SPI and is presently ranked 4th.

The 4-4 sow is sired by Launcher who is 2nd ranked on MLI in the May 1998 Herd Sire Summary. The dam of 404 is the very productive sow, 3-8. She is also the dam of Otis and Great Alpine. Otis ranks 3rd in the breed on EPDs for Days (-7.2). The 3-8 sow has averaged 167 lb litter weight for 8 parities. From a litter of 15 farrowed and 14 raised, Ultimate’s littermates all had MLIs of 140 or above.
