Black and white heritage breed piglets cluster in lush pasture grass, watched over by a sow and a farmer in weathered denim and a navy pullover. Late spring sunlight bathes the undulating paddock, where yellow wildflowers punctuate the verdant landscape of central Victoria's Heathcote region. The mature sow, tagged for identification, stands protectively near her litter, her dark coat contrasting against the soft green and golden grasses. A rustic, regenerative farming approach is evident - the piglets roaming freely, experiencing natural grazing behaviors typical of ethical small-scale livestock management. Muddy farm boots and the expansive rural backdrop suggest this is a working farm committed to sustainable agricultural practices, where animal welfare and landscape integration are paramount. The scene captures the gentle intersection of traditional farming wisdom and contemporary ecological consciousness, with the piglets representing the next generation of carefully nurtured livestock.
