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!

    (09:30) Found the herd grazing at the base of the hill where Bob left them around K/L 21/22. Watched them for a while, all seemed well - didn't notice one with a limp, although there was one black adult with white face sitting the whole time in the middle of the herd while the others were all quite active. Very difficult to count - they were all wandering about, and the calves easily disappear when they sit down! My counts came up around 36-43.

    A rather boisterous dog ran into the herd barking at them, but they didn't seem unduly bothered - they closed ranks and faced him down. He soon got the message to leave alone.

    Passed by again at around 11:00, the entire herd was on the move, on/by the track M22-ish heading towards Long Bottom.
