**UNITED STATES HOG AND PIGS**

U.S. inventory of all hogs and pigs on March 1, 2007 was 61.1 million
head. This was up one percent from March 1, 2006, but down two percent
from December 1, 2006.

Breeding inventory, at 6.08 million head, was up one percent from last
year, but down slightly from the previous quarter. Market hog inventory,
at 55.0 million head, was up one percent from last year, but down two
percent from last quarter.

The December 2006 ‑ February 2007 pig crop, at 26.1 million head, was up
two percent from 2006 and up three percent from 2005. Sows farrowing
during this period totaled 2.87 million head, up one percent from both
2006 and 2005. The sows farrowed during this quarter represented 47
percent of the breeding herd. The average pigs saved per litter was 9.08
for the December 2006‑February 2007 period, compared to 9.03 last year.
Pigs saved per litter by size of operation ranged from 7.60 for
operations with 1‑99 hogs and pigs to 9.20 for operations with more than
5,000 hogs and pigs.

U.S. hog producers intend to have 2.91 million sows farrow during the
March‑May 2007 quarter, down slightly from the actual farrowings, but up
one percent from 2005. Intended farrowings for June‑August 2007, at 2.92
million sows, are virtually unchanged from both 2006 and 2005. The total
number of hogs under contract, owned by operations with over 5,000 head,
but raised by contractees, accounted for 39 percent of the total U.S.
hog inventory, unchanged from last year.
