[Video transcript of sheep farmers Jane and Mick Craig.]

[The video opens with a drone view of rolling brown tinged hills spotted by green trees, and the Agriculture Victoria logo on the screen. This is followed by a scene featuring Mick Craig wearing a blue button up shirt and walking among a mob of sheep in a paddock, followed by Jane Craig and her husband Mick leaning on a farm gate beside the sheep paddock.

The skipping music sound track plays throughout the video.

Appearing on screen, standing in a timber-framed wool shed, is Jane waring a Kaiwaka zip front navy parker with the Carrigeen logo. She stands beside husband Mick who is wearing a blue button up shirt with the Carrigeen logo.]

[Jane says:] We’re Mick and Jane Craig from Harrow Western Victoria. We’ve been down here over 20 years and we’re farmers and we love it.

[The lower thirds title appears, reading: Mick & Jane Craig, Mixed sheep livestock and crop farmers, Carrigeen Pastoral].

[Mick says:] We run a few sheep, we’re about two thirds wool, fine wool, beautiful marino, and a third go to terminals for meat production, and we grow a few crops, a bit of cereal, grain and oil seed.

[As Jane and then Mick talk, various scenes showing Jane and Mick out in the farm talking together by the gate, a close up of hands in the wool coat of a sheep, sheep running in the paddock, and sheep moving through the gate, Mick counting the sheep, and Jane walking around the grain siphoning into a trailer.]

[Mick says:] So for us biosecurity is actually about making sure that diseases don’t come onto our farm. That then our animals are really healthy and less actually vulnerable to diseases. So a healthy animal, a healthy landscape, give a good product for the consumer.

[Various farm and biosecurity scenes show a pear tree, chickens in a chicken coup, sheep in paddocks, and a drone view of native vegetation beside a creek.]

[Jane says:] One of the things we are always on the look out for is lice that would come in from a neighbour’s sheep for instance. So that is where our double fencing comes in on our boundary fences, so making sure there’s two physical barriers instead of just the one.

[Other scenes including Mick separating sheep, Jane walking through paddock, along the fenceline checking fences and the ute with trailer driving behind a fence with ‘please shut the gate’ signage.]

[Mick says:] For us it is predominantly around lice, footrot and yonis, they are the big three. In Victoria, we’re fortunate we’ve got a program to be able to track and trace our animals through electronic tags we all have a property identification code and we can very easily track and trace where our animals are.

[On the screen we see Mick checking a sheep’s foot, sheep running toward the camera, sheep following the feed trailer in paddock, a close up showing an ear tag,  and Jane inside the farm buggy, the buggy driving past the entry gate with the large biosecurity ‘visitors please respect farm biosecurity’ sign, sheep bounding through the gate after the feed trailer, and a wide shot of sheep in the paddock with large trees in the background.]

[Jane says:] So strangely enough one of the highest risks for us is people who come and check the lines. They unknowingly could be bringing something onto our farm. So, knowing we’re they’ve gone, or what paddocks they’ve been in is really important to us just so we can trace it.

[Mick says:] Biosecurity starts at the front door. Day by day we’ve got to keep it active in our mind how we manage it, you know, pests, diseases and plant risk as well. So we get our information about biosecurity from the AgVic website and also we are all part of what is called the Livestock Production Assurance Program. In that, one of the key components is actually having a biosecurity plan, having an animal welfare plan, keeping correct documentation. All those things we use to help manage our biosecurity risk.

[On screen the ute and trailer drive through another farm gate with a biosecurity sign, Mick washes down a trailer (various angles including a close up of washing the tyres), the ute with dog and a trailer drive through paddock, a fox off sign is seen on a tree, Jane is in her buggy rounding up sheep, Mick is in the paddock with the sheep, and then we see Jane with the dog rounding up sheep, and other farm scenes.]

[Jane says:] It’s really important to talk to our neighbours in the wider community, to ensure that we are all on the same page regarding biosecurity.

[The final scenes of the video show sheep huddled in paddock with text on the screen that shows the Agriculture Victoria logo and then is followed by a URL that reads agriculture.vic.gov.au/make-a-difference.

This is followed by an acknowledgement of Country in white text on a black screen that reads: Agriculture Victoria acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Victoria and their ongoing connection to the land and water.

The Victorian Government authorisation tag appears on screen, on the black background it reads:
