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!

    Saturday afternoon

    Found 10 at about S11, they seemed fine, and 11 around I31.  The latter group included the injured heifer.  She was drinking and feeding when I came across her and seemed to have a mark on the outside of the top of the leg. 
    Whilst I was watching her, a dog appeared which made her run, which she managed to do but very slowly.  I asked the owner several times to take the dog away which he only grudgingly did after the dog had tried again, several times, to chase the heifer.  She seemed okay when I left.
