Reg# 144293002

ULTRA is one of our incredible off the farm purchases from Mauck Show Hogs! ULTRA absolutely blew us away for the far-reaching pieces he offers, while still combining look, design, and a great build when viewed from the side! When you get on top of ULTRA, he overwhelms you with his immense upper rib, and defined, wide spread back shape! He comes and goes with unreal power and mass and still can get out and drive with great ease and comfort! ULTRA is a boar so extreme to make a big change, yet still covers all the fundamentals extremely well! We truly believe that he is one of the most unique and progressive Berkshire boars we have come across in quite some time! Not only is ULTRA impressive to look at, his pedigree backs it up! Sired by the very successful Pearl Necklace and out of Wolf Packâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s littermate sister, who was the 2016 Indiana State Fair Champion Berk & 5th Overall Breeds!! The power in the blood running through ULTRA strengthens our confidence in him to be a game changing Berkshire sire! If you need to inject power, mass, and width, while maintaining the look necessary to win at the highest levels, ULTRA is the answer in making better Berkshires!

Stressed Out x Non-Typical Bred by & Owned with Mauck Show Hogs Stress: Carrier

EN: 43-1 Reg#: 144218001

When Nick Mauck says he has a boar that is the best hog they have ever produced of any color, we get very excited. This Berkshire boar is built to make a RADICAL change! Simply put , RADICAL is one of the best Berkshire boars we have ever seen! A bold statement, but RADICAL can definitely back that up! After seeing him, it didn’t take long to realize that RADICAL was a very special boar! He is sired by Stressed Out and out of a Non-Typical sow that is the mother of Ty Goss’s 2017 OYE Grand Overall gilt that sold for $32,500! RADICAL is backed by years of Berkshire domination on both sides of his pedigree, providing us with up-most confidence in his generating ability as a sire! RADICAL is absolutely flawless in his skeletal design. He is tall fronted, long about his neck, while remaining very stout and masculine in his skull. RADICAL is big and bold in his forearm, exhibits excellent turn to his upper rib with really good center body dimension. As he tracks away, he plants and drives with unbelievable comfort and range of motion on one of the best hind legs we have ever seen in this breed. When you get on top of him, RADICAL is descript in his muscle pattern with a groove running from his blade back to his hip. RADICAL is very square and true in his build from the top of his skeleton all the way to the ground, standing on enormous feet and huge, wide spread toes. Most importantly, RADICAL is absolutely loaded with “IT FACTOR” This is a truly special individual that is bred and built to make a substantial impact on the breed! Radical is a Stress Carrier so breed accordingly but we think he is definitely worth a shot on your premier sows - he will definitely see the top end of ours!!!

Stressed Out x Mr. Skinny Legs

Bred by & Owned with Mauck Show Hogs Stress Negative EN: 11-3

Reg# 144165003

Chill Out is another of our trio of purchases from Mauck that we are absolutely pumped up about! Chill Out is as freakish in his look, elevation at the point of his blade and length through his head and neck as any Berk we have ever had in stud. With that, he still offers really good body and upper rib shape, coupled with ample amounts of muscle, mass, and width. Chill Out has an ideal hip and hind leg, which allows him to reach and plant effortlessly around the yard. His design is truly unique and we see him as being an absolute must use on moderate, boxy females that need to be elevated, fixed in their build, and better in their overall skeletal makeup! This boar is built for the future and we are very proud to offer him to our customers! Chill Out will see very heavy use on our own sows - we think the change he can make and the impact he can have on the breed will be fun to watch! We strongly believe Chill Out is one of the most unique Berkshire boars we have ever housed and can fix lots of issues and make Berkshires even better and continue the breedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in grabbing the great big banners!!!

*FLASH* Littermate to Chill Out was named 2017 California State Fair Champion AOB Barrow!!

Take That! This is our very popular $44,000 2017 STC Reserve and Top Selling Berkshire Boar purchase from Larry & Janet White and Nathan Day! With the huge demand and popularity of Whatever It Takes, we made it a priority this summer to find a son to stand along side him and were pumped to have found one as exciting as Take That to bring here to Premium Blend! Take That hit us incredibly hard when he drove into the ring at Springfield! He is so unique in the look he gives from the side, being tall shouldered and jet-level in his design. He drives at you with unreal spread through his chest and drives away with similar power and width. He exhibits tremendous turn to his loin on the top side of his skeleton with a deep groove running from his blade back to his hip. Take That is ultra athletic and comfortable on the move, which should allow his offspring to grab an extra gear and keep driving right past the competition! This is a special boar that we feel can continue the great momentum his sire has started! We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see the type of impact Take That will have for years to come!

The design and set to this guy’s hip and hind leg is insane!! Some boars just have that “IT” factor and WHATEVER IT TAKES has “IT” in abundance. Incredible boar from a firm with an unbelievable track record for not only producing hogs that win at the highest levels, but also for making breeding stock that “change the game”--- We knew we had to own him-whatever it took!! We had great expectations for WIT and he has delivered!!! His wins were highlighted @ Springfield where he sired the Grand Overall Barrow. Also at Springfield he sired the Champion Berkshire Boar, $44,000 Top-selling Reserve Berkshire Boar, 3rd Overall Berkshire Gilt, & 3rd Overall Division 1 Berkshire Gilt. This followed up his WPX results of siring the Champion & Reserve Berkshire Gilts in the Open Show.

Sired by Pearl Necklace and out of Wolf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 San Antonio Champion Berkshire and Reserve Overall Gilt, who also happens to be Monopolyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s littermate! With the incredible run Monopoly has had so far, it was a no brainer to add another boar out of this predictable lineage. This boar is bred to be great and when one is built like this, it makes it even more exciting! Cold Feet brings a lot of the same positive traits to the table as Monopoly, but does so in a bulkier, more moderate package. This boar is blown apart at his blade and drives at you with impressive power and spread through his chest floor. He is very stout about his skull, while maintaining good look, elevation, and eye appeal. Cold Feet is huge in his body and rib shape and offers a lot mass and product when you get on top of him. He has huge legs and big feet, and shows tremendous flexibility and athleticism when set in motion. We believe Cold Feet has a ton of breeding value and can continue the chain of success that Monopoly has set into motion!

Simply put, we think this one is absolutely incredible. Aaron’s description of UNDISPUTED - “ UNDISPUTED is as good as any we have ever put together Period. I’m sticking to the answer to the question of what to breed him to with: The best one you have in heat. I’ve never thought the term “Freak of Nature” should be applied to a truly great one. Yet, it’s hard to know how else to explain UNDISPUTED except that he’s Freakishly Balanced with still all the extras to produce dominating show stock! Best advice I have for folks serious about making good ones is to - GO SEE UNDISPUTED” UNDISPUTED certainly stands with the elite of the elite that we have ever had the pleasure to have in stud. UNDISPUTED is a HOSS!!!

Visionary

August Pricing $350/$200 Overrun/$165 Last Call In-season $500/ $250 Overrun /$165 Last Call Bone Collector x Super Monster

Bred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Negative Visionary is the Bone Collector x Super Monster son of the $500,000 3/4 interest pair of boars purchased from Steve Cobb & Family. When he walked out of the Cobb's boar barn the first thing that hit us was his tree-trunk back legs that truly look fake. Then you see his hip which is the longest and best hip and makes him one of the most athletic boars we have seen out of Collector or Thug. Then you see his barrel rib and absolutely massive flank. Then the real topper is one of the most uniquely-powerful but extended head/necks you can imagine. There is not a whole lot left to say about what Visionary has accomplished to date and we think he is as relevant today as he was the day we purchased him. This is demonstrated by his recent major wins of Grand Overall Gilt OYE, Reserve Grand Overall Gilt Arizona Nationals, & $26,500 Top-selling Reserve Grand Gilt WPX. On top of those major wins he has had over 35 Grand & Reserve Grand Overalls reported so far this summer @ Jackpots & County Fairs!!! Even more impressive to us is the job his daughters are doing in the crate. The number of elite showpigs having Visionary on the bottom side is truly impressive and reports of their mothering ability have been tremendous!!!

BEAR 52 (B52) is our Bear 84 x Monster Square son purchase from Steve Cobb & Family. For those that have seen Bear 84, this son is built almost identically to him being freakish in his height at the point of his shoulder with great extension through his head and neck! Being this tall fronted, he still offers really good angulation to his shoulder and is blown apart in his chest floor. He offers extreme muscle definition down his back into a big, square hip, while exhibiting extra spring and curvature to his rib with awesome depth of body. Super square and athletic as he comes and goes. Aaron’s description of BEAR 52 - “BEAR 52 is so much like his daddy it’s scary. His sire was years ahead of his time and has proven himself to be a special kind of show barrow sire that can always generate incredible females. If we were forced to start our herd all over again and could only pick 5 sows from our existing herd, BEAR 52’s mother 20-6 Monster Square daughter is a NO DOUBT MUST HAVE! He will get bred to more sows in Lake City than B84 at this point. And That’s a big deal.” This guy is so extreme, yet covers all the fundamentals to a very high degree- we read barrow-sire supreme all over this guy!!!

Bred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Negative TAKE AIM is our On Target x Supermonster (Visionary’s Dam) purchase from Steve Cobb & Family. Sired by the ultra-successful On Target and comes directly from the same sow that produced Visionary! Aaron’s comments on TAKE AIM - “TAKE AIM is the Target son WE HAVE BEEN HOPING FOR! He not perfect, nor was On Target which sired multiple champions in just his first couple seasons of use including Grand at Arkansas State Fair that went on to be named Reserve Grand at NAILE last Fall. He also sire Grand at NE State Fair both FFA & 4-H Shows. Plus numerous others at all levels of competition. Point is, they don’t have to be perfect to be great breeding hogs. We decided we’d keep him within hours after birth. We have always known the importance of producing sons out of such a Matriarch female as 15-9 (Visionary’s Mother). It allows for intense line breeding of the sow while inserting enough other genetic influence from different sires. We think 295 can be bred to a variety of types and kinds and genotypes but IT IS A MUST that if you have Visionary daughters to us him back on them!” In relation to his brother, Take Aim provides a similar look and build when viewed from the side. When you get on top of Take Aim, he blows you away with tremendous back shape and expression, offering incredible turn to his loin edge. He is as busted open coming and going as one can be while still remaining flexible and athletic on the move! This is a really cool boar with tons of power!!

Kiss My Hocks x Gone Viral Bred by Heimer Hampshires Stress: Carrier

DISTINCT (aka 15-1) is our Kiss My Hocks x 85-12 (Gone Viral x Swagger x Black Attack) stress carrier son from Heimer Hampshires . When the crew went to HH to purchase our new Berkshire boar Monopoly, they had the opportunity to see “151”. Their immediate feedback to me was that we REALLY needed to buy him. If you want to see passion from Jesse Heimer, ask him about DISTINCT - so we felt the best person to describe him was the man that bred him and here is what he had to say: “Many who haven’t seen him have asked ‘what’s he like?’ and our most accurate description is this; he’s the 2016 version of Swagger. We’ve used Swagger as much as anyone in the past 4+ years and for all the Champion barrows he sired, we never really made a boar that resembled Swagger until this one came along. Suggesting that 15-1 looks like Swagger is an awfully big statement but we honestly think he’s progressively better in many areas than Swagger. He’s bigger ribbed, deeper flanked, bigger legged, heavier boned and still incredibly square at the ground. What makes 15-1 truly unique is his extreme flexibility and the ability to reach and grab another gear. It took some time but this one was worth the wait.” We bought Distinct to match to Visionary daughters and that has worked very well including class-winning & $5500 2nd top-selling gilt @ WTC, class-winning boar @ SWTC, Reserve Grand Gilt NW District-Woodward, as well as Essential and Silver Lining who are now standing in stud here @ PBG. Distinct has had a great summer including the 3rd Overall Division 2 Gilt @ WPX & numerous Grand & Reserve Overalls & Jackpots & County Fairs

We love this guys look and we love his pedigree, with No Regrets having the tremendous sire Mayhem on the top & bottom!!! NO REGRETS is impeccable in his look and design, being freakish in his extension through his head and neck. He is extra tall at the point of his shoulder and level made back to his long, square hip. When you get on top of him, he is really impressive in his upper rib shape and carries this down through the center portion of his body. NO REGRETS is awesome in his skeletal correctness with a great hip and hind leg, while exhibiting great strength to his pasterns! We believe NO REGRETS will work extremely well on those moderate, heavy muscled females that need more look and elevation without sacrificing the necessary power needed to win at a big time level! We are very excited to see what NO REGRETS can accomplish!

Outlook x Thor

Dam is littermate to That Guy and Apollo Bred by Vickrey Showpigs EN 9-8 Reg# 114775008 If you are in the hunt for a Landrace to make them stout, moderate and showy, we are extremely confident BAD CAT is the best option we have seen for a long time. MASSIVE topped , MASSIVE chest, MASSIVE as he travels away from you and yet his feet and legs are awesome and can motor all day long. This one truly shocks people when we walk him out. Similar to the statement we made when we got Superman - If his babies take after their dad, you are going to be in the hunt. We thought he could be an absolute terror in the Landrace breed - and that is proving to be the case. BAD CAT continued his domination of the Landrace Showring in the summer of 2015 with Champion & 5th Overall Barrow & Champion Gilt @ WPX; Champion & Reserve Gilt @ NJSS & Reserve, 4th, & 5th Overall Barrow @ NJSS. BAD CAT kept on rolling in the Fall of 2015 & Spring of 2016 with Champion Landrace NWSS, Champion & Reserve Landrace NAILE, Champion Gilt San Antonio, Res. Barrow AZ Nationals, Champion Gilt NJSA Eastern Regional, Champion Gilt NJSA Southeast Regional, Champion & Reserve Boar & Champion Gilt NSR WTC. BAD CAT continues to win at the highest levels in 2017 including Champion Gilt San Antonio, Champion Gilt San Angelo, $5500 Champion & Top-selling gilt SWTC, & Champion Gilt Arizona Nationals.
