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!

    Number 72 removed

    We have removed number 72 off site  this morning. Cheers Josh

    Wednesday 29 November 2017

    Spotted some by the horse pond and by the time I drove down there they had regrouped with the rest. Bonus!

    072 - causing quite a few problems of late. 3 escapee attempts. In discussions about removing .

     
    I put down a lick about 20 yards off the main track. Its a small blue bucket in case you see it and wonder what the hell that is?!
     
    Herd looking well. No concerns to report.

    13 on Sandy Hill

    Tue 28 Nov 3:30ish.

    Just had a brisk litter pick along Sandy Hill.  13 cattle strung out along the path.  Unfortunately they decided my bag of litter was food and I nearly got mowed down by the front runners.

    All looked well and grazing contentedly (apart from the evident disappointment of not getting cattle nuts).

    Fab day for a walk

    Having been away for a while and not able to blog, it was great to be back walking in this fabulous crisp cold weather. We walked for some time without seeing any cows, or indeed evidence of any cows, and were beginning to wonder if they had been removed in our absence. Then, whilst walking past the sandy pond at about P17 we heard bellowing.There were a group of 3 brown and white cows moving towards another group, all bellowing away. They joined up and made their way through the high brush across the valley and were last seen climbing the hill to the Sandy Hill path. Had they not been making so much noise we would probably have missed them in the dense undergrowth. We saw 10 in all, and they seemed relaxed and well with no obvious problems.
    There were lots of friendly people about today, walking dogs and riding bikes.

    Tuesday Avo

    Took quite a bit of looking to find them all today.  There were 6 down by the flying saucer which were a pain to get to but all looked fine.

    The other 8 I eventually found in woods near to the A325.  Quite off the beaten track!

    All look fine!

    All seen

    All seen yesterday afternoon. There was one herd with the majority towards Sandy Hill and 3 separate ones off on their own up by Bourley Road.

    Wednesday Morning

    All 14 were all the way back on Sandy Hill this morning, all rather wet through but looking fine otherwise.

    Monday fun

    All the cows were in G17 where I found them after coming from Gelvert. 1 has escaped and fled to Gelvert where I had just found him with the Gelvert lot. That was 10063.

    Though I counted 14 on Caesars which given the presence of 10063 on GCA makes the 15 so all is good.

    All looked good though grazing the area they may not get seen much until the move back round. I will probably pop back in to see where they area this morning.

    Sunday am

    The military had vehicles parked near the Pavilion, one with it’s tailgate open. 3 cows investigating the contents of the car, with a soldier trying to chase them away.

    Cows win 8-7

    I found 7 steers up near the view point early this afternoon, 5 together and two more singles not too far away. All looked in great shape.

    I didn't manage to find the other 8, despite an hour and a half of looking, they managed to out-fox me (to use a slightly inappropriate term!)

    Sunday 15th September - All 24 seen

    I came across yearling 270 and Sussex steer 1626 near ///stirs.inkjet.toned at 09:20 this morning. They were both gazing out over the pastur...
