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!

    Injured cattle

    Hello
    Norman phoned in this morning to report a badly limping cow, and we have had other reports of weeping and sore eyes.
    The farmer had already been up and will treat the eyes of the cattle with antibiotics. He will leave the limping cow for the time being as she is managing to keep with the rest of the herd and he doesn't want to make the problem worse by having to catch her.
    In addition he has increased the number of cows and calves by 4 of each.
    Thanks for all your help.
    Alex
