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.
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.
Domestic pigs are related to the wild hogs that occur in some states because when pigs were first brought to America, some escaped. Those that escaped became wild and continued to breed to produce more of these wild hogs.
Possibly. Sounds more like a bird of prey. Owls are notorious for eating the heads of their prey first. If if happened during the daylight hours it may be some other type of raptor.
Texas has the most cattle ranching in the US, with more than twice the cattle of the next largest-producing state. For 2011, the number of head of cattle in Texas was 13,300,000, split over 132,000 operations. The other top 5 are as follows: 1. Texas (13,300,000) 2. Kansas (6,300,000) 3. Nebraska (6,200,000) 4. California (5,150,000) 5. Oklahoma (5,100,000)
The state that raises the most hogs in the United States is North Carolina. There is an increased demand for pork raised in humane conditions recently.

Most likely it was Mississippi.
Ethanol Production is a rapidly growing industry in Iowa and the other midwestern corn producing states. Other than that, farming, some clean industries and the university systems are major employers.
