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!

    Late post of deceased cow

    Hello all,

    Sorry for the late blog post but unfortunately one of the cattle was found dead on Friday last week.

    A dog walker called it in and she was found on one of the areas we burnt back in January.

    I think she had likely been there for a couple of days.  There were no signs of a struggle or ill health or injury although she was identified in previous blog reports as appearing a big forlorn.  To be able to carry out a post morten you need to do so within 24 hours, obviously this was not possible so we will never know exactly the cause of death.

    Needless to say my immediate concern was lead, however given further consideration and discussions with the stockman we do not believe this to be the case.  Having said that, if snore one dies soon I will have to remove them all immediately to a neighbouring site until I can gain confidence that the site is safe.

    I will keep you all posted so please do let us know if any individual is showing any odd behaviour.  To assist with this we really need the last two numbers on their ear tags to help us build up a history of any symptoms.

    Best wishes

    Elliott

      Hello Elliot
      What a shame. Is this the cream coloured cow that we thought looked a little thin?
