Ohio Ag Net | Ohio's Country Journal Ohio Ag Net | Ohio's Country Journal U.S. inventory of all hogs and pigs on June 1, 2010 was 64.4 million head.
This was down 4 percent from June 1, 2009 but up 1 percent from March 1,
2010.
Breeding inventory, at 5.79 million head, was down 3 percent from last year
but up slightly from the previous quarter. Market hog inventory, at
58.6 million head, was down 4 percent from last year but up 1 percent from
last quarter.
The March-May 2010 pig crop, at 28.2 million head, was down 3 percent from
2009 and down 2 percent from 2008. Sows farrowing during this period totaled
2.87 million head, down 5 percent from 2009 and down 6 percent from 2008.
The sows farrowed during this quarter represented 50 percent of the breeding
herd. The average pigs saved per litter was a record high 9.81 for the
March-May 2010 period, compared to 9.61 last year. Pigs saved per litter by
size of operation ranged from 7.70 for operations with 1-99 hogs and pigs to
9.90 for operations with more than 5,000 hogs and pigs.
U.S. hog producers intend to have 2.89 million sows farrow during the June-
August 2010 quarter, down 2 percent from the actual farrowings during the
same period in 2009 and down 6 percent from 2008. Intended farrowings for
September-November 2010, at 2.90 million sows, are down 1 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, down from 46 percent last year.
Revisions
All inventory and pig crop estimates for June 2009 through March 2010 were
reviewed using slaughter, death loss and current import and export data.
Based on this review, adjustments of less than one percent were made to the
December 2009 total inventory and March 2010 total inventory. An adjustment
of two percent was made to the September-November 2009 pig crop.
This report was approved on June 25, 2010.

Reliability of June 1 Hogs and Pigs Estimates
Survey Procedures: A random sample of roughly 8,800 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 June 2010, data were collected from about 7,200
operations, 82 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 June 1, 2010.
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 64.4 million head by more than 1.6 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 that
the difference will not exceed 2.8 percent.
