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!

    ALL CATTLE REMOVED FOR TB TESTING

    Hello all,

    As planned we rounded up the cattle today and walked them into the neighbouring site Gelvert Catchment Area, where, once united with Gelverts herd, we led them to Camp 45 (the meadow adjacent to Bourley Road.

    There is plenty of grass in tehre and the gelvert stream flows through it.

    They will be visited by the vet on Monday and given a small amount of TB.  they will then be visited again on Thursday where their reaction will be monitored and will be used to determine if they have TB or not.  We try to operate a closed herd which limits any unwanted exposure between our cattle and other farmers cattle.  We also hope their varied diet and ability to freely roam ensures they are fit and well to fit things off, but one never knows so fingers crossed!

    Assuming they are given the all clear they will be returned the following week.

    Enjoy your week off
