Small-scale Outdoor Pig Breeding is a comprehensive guide to breeding and rearing pigs in natural conditions without compromising their wellbeing.

The book provides support for novice pig-keepers hoping to breed their own pigs. Moreover, it also acts as a valuable reference for more experienced breeders and offers information about different breeds of pigs and their respective needs.

Topics covered in Small-scale Outdoor Pig Breeding include choosing a breed, selecting a boar, hogging and mating, gestation care, farrowing, and hand rearing.

She runs her own herds of Kunekune and Berkshire pigs on 20 acres of Herefordshire farmland. She rescues and re-homes unwanted pet pigs and runs courses on breeding and rearing pigs. Wendy is the Chairperson of the British Kunekune Pig Society and produces their quarterly magazine.
