Wisconsin's hog and pig inventory totaled 345,000 head on December 1, down five percent from the same time last year. The USDA says breeding hog inventory in the Badger State was counted at 51,000 head, which was about 1,000 less than in late 2021. Market hog numbers totaled 294,000 head--much lower than the 319,000 a year earlier.

The agency says Wisconsin's annual pig crop between December 2021 through November 2022 was 1.06 million head, down fractionally for the year. Pigs per litter averaged 11.50, which was up one percent from last year.

U.S. inventory of all hogs and pigs on December 1 was 73.1 million head. This was down two percent from 2021. Breeding inventory, at 6.15 million head, was up slightly higher from last year. Market hog inventory was at 67 million head, which was also off slightly from last December.
