Farm News: No Change On State Hog Numbers

comments

Posted: 01.06.2010

Wisconsin’s hog and pig inventory was 360,000 head on De-cember 1, 2009, same as last December. Breeding hog inven-tory, at 50,000, was up 10,000. Market hog numbers declined 10,000 from last year to 310,000 head.

Wisconsin hog and pig data will be published annually only starting with December 2009. The quarterly estimating States will now include Utah but will exclude Arkansas and Wiscon-sin. This change was due to increased production in Utah and decreased production in Arkansas and Wisconsin.

Wisconsin’s annual pig crop, December 2008-November 2009, was 842,000 head, a 6 percent decrease from the previous year. Sows farrowing during the same period totaled 93,000, down 6 percent. Pigs per litter averaged 9.05, compared to 9.03.
