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!

    Bull on site and cow 145

    Hello everyone,

    i have just spoken to Rob, the owner of the cattle at Caesars Camp, to have an update on the cow with the sore leg. He confirmed that he has completed the course of antibiotics to reduce the infection. he even tried to give the cow an extra injection just to make sure but could not catch it so is happy that the cow is on its way to recovering.

    He also informed me that upon visiting this morning to check on the cow with the sore leg he has delivered a bull onto the site to spend the next 8/9 weeks with the cows. This is all part of an extremely exciting plan of creating beef from your local heath and then being able to sell it in a local shop which is something the Grazing Project has been aiming at for the last three years.

    Because the bull has so many cows to entertain him he should be very calm and docile. If anything it will be the cows that get a little bit more excited having him around! Having said that he is obviously a bull and is therefore very much larger than the rest of the cows. Accidents can always happen so please make sure you keep you safe distance and observe from afar.

    Now that a bull is on site it is even more important the the signs are in place on the gates and that they are replaced as and when they are vandalised. I know a number are missing at present so will visit the site today and replace those with new signs.

    If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask

    Elliott
