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!

    Hello
    I was up on site this afternoon (2pm) following a report of concern about one of the cattle. One of the lookers was concerned that a pale, nearly white, cow and her calf were separate from the rest of the herd and were sitting down by themselves in Long Bottom (R17/18).
    I went to have a look, but they had moved, and the only pale cow in the area seemed to be fine.
    May I ask to keep an eye out for her. She is probably okay because she has certainly moved from where she was, but she may now be ill elsewhere.
    The other 40 or so that I saw all looked fine.
    Many thanks
