Dark-coated heritage breed pigs roam across golden winter grasslands near Heathcote, Victoria, their muscular bodies moving together in a loose herd. Farm workers in royal blue jackets and caps guide the black swine along a dusty rural track, carefully managing their movement between dry paddocks and scattered eucalyptus trees. The overcast sky suggests a cool morning, with muted grey-blue tones contrasting against the tawny dried grasses and rich dark soil of the agricultural landscape. These free-range pigs appear robust and healthy, representing a sustainable farming approach that allows natural grazing behaviors while maintaining careful livestock management. The scene captures the essence of small-scale intensive farming in regional Victoria, where traditional agricultural practices blend with modern animal welfare considerations. Each pig moves with a deliberate confidence, their sleek dark coats highlighting the rugged beauty of this inland agricultural setting.
