# Daily Livestock Report June 30, 2026: Hog Breeding Herd Analysis

> USDA's June survey showed the US breeding herd on June 1 at 5.880 million head, down 12,000 from the prior quarter and 69,000 from a year earlier. Sow and boar slaughter was down 5% year on year, and producers show little appetite to expand despite strong 2025-26 profitability.
