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!

    There were over 57 in quite a large area around K/L 17/18. The group included 145 who was gingerly putting her hoof on the softer ground and 1527 (I think!) who might be the calf who comes up to Norman as he came really close and seemed to enjoy having his head and neck rubbed.

    There were also 5 at R5, a further 5 at R 11 and two (a cream and pale brown cow and her calf) at T11. I couldn’t read the cow’s number as her hair covered the tag and the calf was 1490. The calf’s feet were caught in a long piece of red and white tape and various bits of vegetation (which I unravelled) and the cow seemed ok and was eating birch saplings and fungi.


    Overall they all seemed placid and content, though flies were bothering quite a few of the cows and calves.
