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!

    no sighting today

    Tuesday,09.15, no luck finding them today, i only had time to cover the whale tail and Caesars camp area, although there were lots of signs they had been in the area they were remaining elusive.

    Saturday 28 March 2009

    Half a sighting

    20 were grazing eagerly at about M25 late this afternoon, steadily heading west. The rest of the herd must have been playing hide and seek very effectively.

    no show

    Saturday 15.00, i did not find any cattle today, i searched the whale tail across to Caesars down to the lake and over to bourley road with no luck.

    Down by the pond

    Found all 35 down by the pond (the one with the lifebelt) at ~N24 at 0930 this morning. They were concentrating on their grazing but on the move eastwards and all looked very healthy.

    Wednesday 25 March 2009

    Wednesday 16.30, today i only found 24, a group of 19 were at the blue barrel at R9, and a further 5 at roughly O20, most were chewing the cud and all looked o/k.
    Saw a small group of 5 around R15 this morning. All looked OK.

    Lots of army activity.

    Lots of army activity today including an overturned lorry on Sandy Hill! Bob's group of 22 have moved to Long Bottom Q18. No sign of the other group.

    One missing

    Early afternoon and Bob's 13 had moved on to T9 and the other group had split up - 19 at Q18 and 2 at R19. I hope the missing one was somewhere between the two groups. Plenty of army activity everywhere but the cattle didn't seem bothered.

    Full count

    no show today

    Tuesday 16.00, today i started at the beacon hill gate and went as far as Caesars camp then down to the long bottom track and up to the whale tail and around the woods with no sign of them, hopefully they are sheltering from the rain and wind.
