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!

    Mon 23rd March 10.30 All 16 found in heather on Caesars Camp. Mostly lying down basking in the sunshine. Des and I had a good look round them and took this photo of 023(we think). We need advice as to how bad this is considered to be. We do know atleast one had diarrhoea Friday 20th we saw the drippy poo but not the cow(s).  Marina

      This is usual and nothing to worry about.

      Thanks

      Hi,

      Further to Ian's earlier reply - there's no concern about what you've shown in your photograph. This can happen regularly when they're laying down as quite a lot of weight gets put on their bellies and just puts pressure everywhere else!

      Thanks for querying it though - it's always good to double check on something you're not sure about.

      Regards

      Rich.
