Which state has all the hogs in the Midwest?

No state has "all" the hogs, since many states raise these animals. The main hog producers are the "corn belt" states like Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska - but there are more. Hogs are raised in almost every state east of the Mississippi - and many in the west.


How were range hogs different from hogs that are raised as livestock today?

Today, hogs are raised in various ways. There are actually what people would call "range hogs" or "free range pigs" being raised today. The pigs live outdoors in a pasture. These hogs have an area or areas where they can take shelter, get water and be fed grains. The pigs may roam in and out of this area at will. There are also, hogs being raised in confinement. These pigs do not roam. Generally, they each have individual space where they eat, drink and sleep. It helps the pig reproduce more efficiently. The offspring is more likely to survive to maturity. Hog production, ultimately for pork consumers, has undergone many changes. When hogs were raised by Pioneers, they were often wanderers and foraged for themselves. This meant that the hog was lean or fat depending upon what they found to eat and in what quantity. Some hogs were kept in pens and fed grain and "slops". These were generally large and rounded by the time they were slaughtered. Now, hogs are raised to be lean. Their bodies are longer and not as wide when viewed from the rear. They are fed grain and no slops.
