WASHINGTON — As of June 1, there were 72.5 million hogs and pigs on U.S. farms, down 1% from June 2021 and down slightly from March 1, 2022, according to the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).

Other key findings in the report were:

  • Of the 72.5 million hogs and pigs, 66.4 million were market hogs, while 6.17 million were kept for breeding.
  • Between March and May 2022, 32.9 million pigs were weaned on U.S. farms, down 1% from the same time period one year earlier.
  • From March through May 2022, U.S. hog and pig producers weaned an average of 11 pigs per litter.
  • U.S. hog producers intend to have 3.02 million sows farrow between June and August 2022, and 3.01 million sows farrow between September and November 2022.
  • Iowa hog producers accounted for the largest inventory among the states, at 23 million head. Minnesota had the second largest inventory at 8.40 million head. North Carolina was third with 8.20 million head.

To obtain an accurate measurement of the U.S. swine industry, NASS surveyed roughly 4,700 operators across the nation during the first half of June. The data collected were received by electronic data reporting, mail, telephone and through face-to-face interviews.

There will be a question and answer session during a live #StatChat on the @usda_nass Twitter account today at 4:00 p.m. EST to answer your question about the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report. To ask a question, make sure you include the #StatChat to any questions you may have. The #statchat happens every quarter after the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Report is released.

The Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report and all other NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov.
