A herd of swine, commonly referred to as a sounder, typically consists of around 10 to 20 pigs, but the size can vary significantly depending on the farm or wild population. In domestic settings, herds can be larger, sometimes exceeding hundreds of pigs. Wild sounders usually comprise a group of females and their young, while adult males tend to be solitary. Overall, the number in a herd can fluctuate based on environmental conditions and management practices.
