A sweeping aerial vista of a free-range pig farm in Victoria's rugged Heathcote region reveals a vibrant tableau of agricultural life. A substantial herd of dark-coated pigs traverses a golden dirt track, their muscular forms creating a dynamic movement across the dry grassland landscape. A lone working dog moves purposefully alongside the herd, guiding their direction with practiced precision. On the periphery, a farmer in a vivid blue jacket and pink cap observes the livestock, embodying the careful management of modern intensive farming practices. The terrain is textured with weathered grasses in muted amber and olive tones, suggesting late summer or early autumn conditions with parched, undulating paddocks stretching into the distance. The aerial perspective emphasizes the scale of contemporary Australian pig farming, showcasing the careful balance between animal welfare, land management, and agricultural productivity in the region.
