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!

    Newbies

    Saw the 10 new ones on the track to the south of the shallow pond on top of Caesar's.  They were calm and friendly though a couple looked a bit dazed by their new surroundings.  The smaller brown and one white ones are little beauties!  Didn't have time to check numbers but one of the black and white ones didn't have a tag.

    10 cattle added

    We have added another 10 Shetland cattle onto site today. 6 smaller red and white cattle and 4 larger black and white. I will get the ear tag numbers updated next week. Cheers

    Slightly further up the track to the west

    Early evening on Wednesday, the five were together near the track below Sandy Hill.  All seemed fine - despite driving rain!

    There are now five cattle back on Caesars Camp as of this afternoon.

    All look fine, more to join when they are suitably neat a gate between GCA and CC.

    Interesting wildlife
