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!

    Brown and White cow with Collar and weeping eye

    Following a report from Ivan on a cow with a weeping eye (ear tag ends in 99) I have just spoken to the farmer. He confirmed that the cow has had the problem for about a week now and he has been treating it with the relevant medicine for the last week. So far the treatment has not worked too well so he is going to take the cow off of the site on Thursday unless it makes a miraculous recovery.

    I will keep you all posted on this situation.
