U.S. Hog Inventory down 2 Percent
U.S. inventory of all hogs and pigs on December 1, 2009 was 65.8 million head. This was down 2 percent
from December 1, 2008 and down 2 percent from September 1, 2009.
Breeding inventory, at 5.85 million head, was down 3 percent from last year and down slightly from the
previous quarter. Market hog inventory, at 60.0 million head, was down 2 percent from last year and down
2 percent from last quarter.
The September-November 2009 pig crop, at 28.8 million head, was up slightly from 2008 but down
2 percent from 2007. Sows farrowing during this period totaled 2.97 million head, down 2 percent from
2008 and down 6 percent from 2007. The sows farrowed during this quarter represented 51 percent of the
breeding herd. The average pigs saved per litter was 9.70 for the September-November 2009 period,
compared to 9.50 last year. The litter rate equaled the record for pigs saved per litter set during the June-
August 2009 period. Pigs saved per litter by size of operation ranged from 7.40 for operations with 1-99
hogs and pigs to 9.80 for operations with more than 5,000 hogs and pigs.

U.S. hog producers intend to have 2.95 million sows farrow during the December 2009-February 2010
quarter, down 2 percent from the actual farrowings during the same period in 2009 and down 4 percent from
2008. Intended farrowings for March-May 2010, at 2.94 million sows, are down 3 percent from 2009 and
down 4 percent from 2008.
The total number of hogs under contract owned by operations with over 5,000 head, but raised by
contractees, accounted for 44 percent of the total U.S. hog inventory, up from 43 percent last year.
Revisions
All inventory and pig crop estimates for March 2008 through September 2009 were reviewed using
slaughter, death loss and current import and export data. Based on this review, adjustments of less than one
half of one percent were made to the December-February 2009 pig crop and September 2009 total inventory.
An adjustment of less than one percent was made to the June 2009 total inventory while an adjustment of
less than two percent was made to the March-May 2009 pig crop.
Special Note
The market hogs and pigs weight groups have changed. The market weight group under 60 pounds has been
changed to under 50 pounds. The market weight group 60-119 pounds has been changed to 50-119 pounds.
The 120-179 pounds and 180 pounds and over weight groups remain the same. The changes align NASS
market hogs and pigs weight groups more closely with international trade data and allow for a more uniform
analysis of the North American hog inventory.
Estimates have been made for these new weight groups dating back to March of 2008 at the U.S. and State
level using slaughter data and current import and export data.
The quarterly estimating States will now include Utah but will exclude Arkansas and Wisconsin. This
change was due to increased production in Utah and decreased production in Arkansas and Wisconsin. Data
from March 2008 forward will reflect this change to provide the user with comparable data for 2008 and
2009.
This report was approved on December 30, 2009.

Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Agricultural Statistics Board
December 2009 19 NASS, USDA
Reliability of December 1 Hogs and Pigs Estimates
Survey Procedures: A random sample of roughly 11,700 U.S. producers was surveyed to provide data for
these estimates. Survey procedures ensured that all hog and pig producers, regardless of size, had a chance
to be included in the survey. Large producers were sampled more heavily than small operations. During the
first half of December 2009, data were collected from about 9,500 operations, 81 percent of the total sample.
The data collected were received by electronic data reporting (EDR), mail, telephone, and face-to-face
personal interviews. Regardless of when operations responded, they were asked to report inventories as of
December 1, 2009.
Estimation Procedures: Hogs and pigs estimates were prepared by the Agricultural Statistics Board after
reviewing recommendations and analysis submitted by each field office. National and State survey data
were reviewed for reasonableness with each other and with estimates from past years using a balance sheet.
The balance sheet begins with the previous inventory estimate, adds the estimates of births and imports, and
subtracts the estimates of slaughter, exports, and deaths. This indicated ending inventory level is compared
to the Agricultural Statistics Board estimate for reasonableness.
Revision Policy: Revisions to previous estimates are made to improve quarter to quarter relationships.
Estimates for the previous four quarters are subject to revision when current estimates are made. In
December, estimates for all quarters of the current and previous year are reviewed. The reviews are
primarily based on hog check-off receipts and slaughter. Estimates will also be reviewed after data from the
Department of Agriculture five-year Census of Agriculture are available. No revisions will be made after
that date.
Reliability: Since all operations raising hogs are not included in the sample, survey estimates are subject to
sampling variability. Survey results are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions, duplication,
and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. The affects of these errors cannot be measured
directly. They are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and through a
careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the estimates in this report, the "Root Mean Square Error" is
shown for selected items in the following table. The "Root Mean Square Error" is a statistical measure based
on past performance and is computed using the difference between first and final estimates. The "Root
Mean Square Error" for hog inventory estimates over the past 20 quarters is 1.6 percent. This means that
chances are 2 out of 3 that the final estimate will not be above or below the current estimate of 65.8 million
head by more than 1.6 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 that the difference will not exceed 2.7 percent.
