Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

  1. Call the office on 01256 381190.
  2. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call.
  3. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly.

NOTES:

  • Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call.

  • If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed.

  • Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact.


    Thank you!

    Dead cow!

    Hello all,

    I am afraid to say that yesterdays incident with a cow escaping was followed by another incident that we have just been informed about by the grazier.

    It appears as though two cows managed to escape the site yesterday afternoon at some point. One of these cows was unfortunately hit by a car and subsequently died. As far as we are aware the driver was OK but we are waiting to find out more about the incident itself. The other cow was rounded up and placed in a field. The grazier will collect this cow today and probably take it back to the farm.

    As yet this is all we know and we are assuming that these two escapees are in fact the two cows we could not find and which Bob saw up in the woods at midday. We will of course update you on news as soon as we get it but in the meantime this leaves 34 cattle on site.
