This full-text report, issued four times yearly, presents data on the U.S. pig crop for 16 major states and the U.S., including inventory number by class, weight group, farrowings, and farrowing intentions. Pigs per litter and pig crop by quarter are also covered in the report. Data was gathered from a random sample of approximately 7,500 U.S. producers of varying sizes, though large operations were sampled more heavily.

This publication is a result of a joint effort by Statistics Canada and NASS to release the total hogs, breeding, market hogs, sows farrowed, and pig crop for both countries within one publication. This information was requested by the U.S. hog industry to provide producers additional information about potential hog supplies.

This bulletin presents final estimates, including revisions made by the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB), for the production years 1945 to 2012. These publications report production, gross income, inventory, supply, disposition, value per head, and total value for cattle, calves, hogs and pigs. Data included in this publication provide a historic record and a benchmark for current estimates.

This annual report contains price reactions to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Cattle on Feed, Quarterly Hogs and Pigs, and Milk Production reports. Contained in the report are annual and quarterly increases and decreases in prices in the week prior to release and week after release for cattle, hogs, butter, barrel cheddar, and block cheddar. This report does not imply that NASS reports are solely responsible for changes to the price level for commodities referenced in the publication. The price level for any commodity can potentially be affected by other information available to the market at that time but ultimately is determined by supply and demand.
