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!

    28th and 29th

    It took two trip over two days to find them all. Eventually i saw them all late today at 17:30.  In two groups.  Both down near the pavilion.  The first group of 7 were at the other end o fthe open sandy area in a small stand of trees.  The second were down on the concrete track the runs towards the A325 along the pavilion boundary.

    All seemed fine.

    Friday am

    Six keeping in the shade, by the side of the Horse Pond. All looked relaxed and OK.

    Monday 25th

    13 up by the old gravel pit pond. Couldn’t get a close look but all moving well and grazing happily. Super morning for dragonflies and butterflies!

    Thursday 21st June.

    Found the cattle split over two herds today. One group were up on Sandy Hill behind the houses and the others were in a small woodland just off the main central track.

    All looking fit and well.

    Wednesday 13 June 2018

    All seen Wed lunch time

    The herd have now moved! As I was passing through Caesars going to Gelvert Catchment Area the whole herd were just in from the gate opposite the Shell garage. All were well, 063 appeared to be moving ok and moving with the others.

    Wednesday early morning

    It looks as if the group hadn't strayed an inch since Rich's post!  All just lazing around on a beautiful morning in the same spot.  Didn't want to disturb 63 so no no sure how her leg is faring.

    Tuesday 12th June.

    All seen today up on Sandy Hill. A group of ten were behind the houses while the other 4 were working their way north down the track.

    #63 is still lame on her rear left but moving ok and sticking with the herd, we'll keep monitoring her.

    All others looking fit and well.

    Tuesday 5 June 2018

    Three near corral Beacon Hill, remaining in one herd coming in same direction 300m up the track towards Lookout.

    Upon checking the first 3 out, mottled 063 seemed a little out of sorts. Closer inspection revealed a lame rear left leg. She's hobbling about on it, feeding,  and sticking with the other 2. Possible restrain on last injury? She's lying down a lot, presumably to take pressure off the leg.

    Informed grazing team. One to monitor please. Rest of herd looking very well.

    063 with lame rear left leg.

    Led main herd off path and bribed with some nuts for a better look.
