USDA QUARTERLY HOGS & PIGS REPORT
March 28, 2014
. . . But definitely picked up some impact
From information, knowledge
Paragon Economics, Inc.
Monthly data  BIG drop in litter size but . . .
12/21/2017 2
. . . a slight (curious) improvement for Feb
From information, knowledge
Paragon Economics, Inc.
The devil is in the details, though . . .
 March H&P would put quarterly 2014 slghtr totals
down 2.1, 3.4, 4 and 2.9% yr/yr.
- IMPLICATION: Higher weights would leave 14
production very near 2013 levels
 March slaughter was down 6.7% while 180+
inventory was down 4.8%
- AND SEP-NOV PIG CROP WAS UNCHANGED
 Dec-Feb pig crops in MN, IA and IL were + 5, +2
and +3% yr/yr IN SPITE OF WIDESPREAD PEDV

Latest PEDv info  thru June 7  shows improvement
 U.S.: new low of 138 wk. ended 5/7
 IL & MN have seen big declines
 Will IA decline (to just 20!) last??

Same number of herds in March as Oct ???

. . . Does that mean Sept will be like April???
From information, knowledge
Paragon Economics, Inc.
But consider . . .
 The 9 named systems had 741,300 sows
according to SFs 13 Powerhouses
- Only Christensen, Seaboard and ISF are
among the top 10
 The other 7 must have roughly 1.76 mil-
lion sows  and must all be in the top 10
 Geographic locations imply that the UM
sample has high proportion in NC and OK 
and roughly one-third in Midwest
