Free-range Berkshire pigs roam a sun-dappled pasture in Victoria's rugged Heathcote region, their dark, robust bodies contrasting against the golden dry grasses and scattered eucalyptus trees. A farmer in a vivid blue jacket moves carefully among the herd, checking their condition and ensuring their well-being in this expansive landscape. The undulating terrain, dotted with granite boulders and mature trees, speaks to the natural, low-stress environment these heritage breed pigs enjoy - a hallmark of ethical, sustainable farming practices. Overhead, a soft grey sky diffuses gentle light across the scene, highlighting the textural richness of the landscape and the pigs' varied charcoal and slate-colored coats. The pigs appear calm and healthy, grazing and moving freely, embodying the principles of free-range agricultural methods that prioritize animal welfare and natural behavior. The Al Mabin watermark subtly indicates the provenance of this compelling agricultural documentation, capturing the essence of progressive livestock farming in the Australian countryside.
