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!

    Found the herd to west of the gravel pit

    All 20 present and looking well. No issues to report.

    All present and correct

    Went out again today and found them SW of the Horse Pond. Happily eating the silver birch.


    All 20 found to south of Gravel Pit.

    All 20 found to south of Gravel Pit on Sunday 28th June in the morning. Herding and looking well.

    3 children (approx age 10 years) chased the herd. They were on their own with no parents to be seen. I had a quiet word with them and asked them not to do it again and explained why the cows were on the common. They promised that they would not chase them in future.

    No signs of damage to fences or of motorbikes.

    All cudding and calm near sandy hill.

    All 20 were happy and calm, cudding and snoozing up near the gate to the west of sandy hill.

    There have been no incidents of fences being cut, dogs hassling cattle, people opposing cattle or anything negative whatsoever so I am well happy!

    All found near raised water tower


    Heard cattle snapping branches as I put some signs up which was a real result.  All 15 were then located and checked.  They were grazing low willow branches and sedges as they walked.  All were walking well and doing a good job,
