Abstract: An ordered probit analysis is used to determine the influence that specialized phases, other farm enterprises, production contracts, locations, management practices, risk preference and producer's age have on the size of U.S. hog operations. Results reveal that specialized phases along with other factors mentioned affect the size of hog operations.
