Just to reassure you all - the Farmer is feeding the cattle with hay while there is snow on the ground so they do have access to additional food as well as what is on site. At this time of year cattel on heaths tend to eat gorse and heather anyway (even if it wasn't snowy) and fortunately this is the vegetation that is most likely to be accessible to them (as it is taller) in the snow as well so they can and will still eat this too.
There is plenty of running water on site which the cattle can access too. They also still have the 'blue barrel' which provides them with nourishment.
Emergency Procedure
If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:
NOTES:
Thank you!
- Call the office on 01256 381190.
- 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.
- 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.
