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!

    Cow death.

    Dear All,
    I am sorry to report that we have found another dead cow on the site. The grazier had it removed this afternoon and is going to have a postmortem done because it is so soon after the last death. We will of course keep you posted as to the results.
    In the mean time can you please look out for any cows or calves acting strangely such as chasing their tails or moving erratically. We just want to keep our eyes open for signs of poisoning until we are sure of the cause of the death.
    Thank you for your help with this.
    All the best
    Lucy
