Pigs are highly-social and love to gather in groups to squeal and wallow. What is the unusual term for a group of pigs?

The term used can depend on the ages of the pigs. A group of young pigs is sometimes called a drift, drove, or litter. Groups of older pigs are called a sounder, but sometimes you'll hear the word "passel" used instead, particularly for factory-farmed swine. Herd, flock, and gaggle are never used.
