Breeding inventory, at 5.76 million head, was down 1 percent from last year, and down 1 percent from the previous
quarter.
Market hog inventory, at 60.2 million head, was down 1 percent from last year, and down 2 percent from last quarter.
The September-November 2013 pig crop, at 29.3 million head, was down slightly from 2012. Sows farrowing during
this period totaled 2.88 million head, down slightly from 2012. The sows farrowed during this quarter represented 50

United States hog producers intend to have 2.83 million sows farrow during the December 2013-February 2014 quarter,
up 1 percent from the actual farrowings during the same period in 2013, and up slightly from 2012. Intended farrowings
for March-May 2014, at 2.86 million sows, are up 1 percent from 2013, but down 3 percent from 2012.
The total number of hogs under contract owned by operations with over 5,000 head, but raised by contractees, accounted
for 48 percent of the total United States hog inventory, up from 47 percent last year.
Revisions All inventory and pig crop estimates for March 2012 through September 2013 were reviewed using final pig crop, official
slaughter, death loss, and updated import and export data. Based on the findings of this review, an adjustment of less than
one half of one percent was made to the March 2012 total inventory and an adjustment of less than two and one half
percent was made to the December 2011-February 2012 pig crop. An adjustment of less than one and one half percent was
made to the June 2012 total inventory and an adjustment of less than one and one half percent was made to the March-
May 2012 pig crop.
An adjustment of less than one and one half percent was made to the March 2013 total inventory and an adjustment of less
than three and one half percent was made to the December 2012-February 2013 pig crop. An adjustment of less than two
and one half percent was made to the June 2013 total inventory. An adjustment of less than two percent was made to the
September 2013 total inventory. An adjustment of more than three and one half percent was made to the March-May 2013
pig crop.

Quarterly Hogs and Pigs (December 2013) 17 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: A random sample of roughly 10,500 United States 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 operations were sampled more heavily than small operations. During the first half of December 2013, data
were collected from about 8,100 operations, 77 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 December 1, 2013.
Estimating 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 effects 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 1.1 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the final estimate will not be
above or below the current estimate of 65.9 million head by more than 1.1 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 that the
difference will not exceed 1.8 percent.
