About this image

Free range pigs graze across golden grassland in Victoria's Heathcote Region, with a large spotted pig prominently featured in the foreground displaying its distinctive ear tag. The pastoral landscape showcases rolling hills dotted with native trees, while several other pigs forage naturally across the open paddock. This scene captures modern free-range piggery operations that prioritize animal welfare over large-scale farming methods, allowing livestock to roam and graze in their natural environment rather than confined spaces.
