Nestled in the lush pastures of Victoria's Heathcote region, a sow and her newborn piglets rest in a verdant grassland. The mother pig, tagged with a numbered identifier, lies protectively beside her litter of black and white spotted piglets. These young Duroc or mixed-breed piglets cluster close, their small bodies creating a tight huddle among the tall green grasses. The scene captures the nurturing heart of regenerative farming, where animals are raised in natural, open environments that allow for natural behaviors and maternal bonding. Soft morning light filters through the grass, highlighting the textured grey and pink skin of the piglets and their mother. This intimate moment represents the careful livestock management practiced in contemporary Australian agricultural systems, balancing animal welfare with productive farming techniques.
