- UME was imported from Sweden along with Agat, Ulf and Harl and spent the first 8 months at Shipleys in Ohio.
- He is a tremendously long bodied and extra lean boar (1.1 cm or 0.43 in backfat).
- He has a long neck, a level-flexible spine and is very long and level in his rump.
- UME also has an excellent underline and is very agile, sound and active. Shipleys indicated that his first offspring have all the desirable characteristics of a highly productive maternal line. They are particularly long and lean with excellent underlines and are free of any major structural or genetic defects. Like the other three imported Large Whites, UME is backed by excellent sow productivity. His dam was the Champion at the National Malmo Show and has averaged 11.3 farrowed and 9.8 weaned in her first 4 litters.
- His paternal granddam averaged 11.6 born live and 10.9 weaned in 7 parities. The grand old 142 sow is the dam of both his paternal and maternal grandsire.
- A gilt bred similar to UME was also imported by Shipleys. She farrowed and raised 11 in her first litter and the 14 pigs in her second litter weighed 48 lb at birth, 94 lb at 5 days and 204 lb at 23 days of age.
- The 190 days to 92 kg for UME appears high; however, limit feeding is used in Sweden.
- UME‛s sire and dam‛s test groups both had average daily gains well above the station average. Under the U.S. full feeding system a boar in the first litter from Shipley‛s imported Swedish bred gilt reached 230 lb in 134 days with 0.60 in backfat. The 4 boars in the litter averaged 147 days to 230 lb and all 11 pigs in the litter averaged on 0.56 in backfat.
- We are confident that UME and the other Large Whites imported from Sweden can contribute to both sow productivity and leanness in U.S. seedstock or commercial herds.
