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!

    Happy Cows

    We found what must have been the whole herd spread out around P/Q 19-22 moving east along Long Bottom at c. 1045 this morning. We counted at least 68 but must have missed some calves in the long grass. They all seemed very relaxed and not at all perturbed by passing walkers and cyclists. They generally look to be in fine health and only irritated by the flies. One "red" cow has a big fly caked discharge under her left eye. She has no ear tags but is recognisable by having just one full horn on the left. The bull is still doing his thing.
