The number of hogs and pigs in the United States has fallen slightly, according to the most recent inventory report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.
The federal agency’s report indicates that the national hog inventory is down compared to previous figures, though the full breakdown of specific numbers and regional data is contained within the official USDA release.
Hog and pig inventory reports are published periodically by the USDA to give producers, markets, and policymakers a snapshot of livestock population trends across the country.
