You'll be interested to know there were several related words, I just chose one:
Group of pigs: drift or drove
Group of hogs: tassel or team
Group of "swine" (? I don't know the difference): sounder
Piglets: farrow or litter or squeal
Illinois says: herd

- mncharity 5y ago> (? I don't know the difference) My superficial googling suggests pig and hog were once, like piglet, developmental subcategories of swine (unweaned and ready-for-market). Like shoat (weaned), and gilt/sow (female that hasn't/has reproduced). But meaning has blurred and diversified since.
