Sprawling across the golden grasslands of Victoria's Heathcote region, a meticulously managed free-range pig farming operation unfolds. Dark, robust piglets and mature swine cluster together on a weathered dirt paddock, their charcoal-gray bodies creating a striking contrast against the sun-bleached landscape. Two farm workers in vibrant blue jackets carefully guide and monitor the herd, their strategic positioning indicating careful livestock management techniques. A meandering dusty yellow road winds through the surrounding dry grass and scattered eucalyptus trees, suggesting a remote agricultural setting typical of rural Victoria. The late afternoon light casts long shadows, highlighting the textured terrain and creating a sense of expansive agricultural space. This scene captures the essence of Australian extensive farming practices, where animal welfare and natural grazing environments are paramount to sustainable agricultural production.
