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!

    Tuesday 27th February - So close...

    Almost a full house within 20 minutes of being on site! Drove up to the lookout and saw the cattle down by the covered reservoir so headed round there straight away.

    Unfortunately there were only 12 there and despite searching for the next few hours (including on Gelvert in case it has jumped!) I couldn't find the last one. The one I couldn't find is one of the Welsh Blacks - #67.

    All of the others are looking good, I put a fresh lick out near the covered reservoir.

    I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to see if I can find the missing one.

    1. Hi - I thought 67 was one of the Gelvert 11?
      One of the jumpers?
      Many thanks,
      Jill

    2. Hi Jill,

      Yep, in my haste reading the blog on my phone yesterday I didn't scroll down far enough to see that!

      Anyway, good news that I managed to see them all.
