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!

     Almost at the end of our walk we saw 032, 033, 196, 194, and 198 along Sandy Hill. No sign of the others across the middle area. How is 195, Fagan will he be returning? Stay Safe, Marina & Des

    1. Hello, hope you are both well. I've passed your question re 195 on to the grazing team and will let you know what they say once I hear back!

    2. Hiya, well I'm sorry to say I looked into this and unfortunately it turns out that Fagan had to be put down due to the severity of the acorn poisoning that occurred. How horrible. There really were so many acorns this year and I spotted a lot of crunchy looking cowpats filled with acorn shells...hopefully we won't have so many acorns next year and at least we will all be aware of what to look out for in the cattle if we do have another glut. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! Susanne

    3. Hello Susanne, Thank you for the replies. Could this, and any other information about the cattle and area, be blogged so that we all know what is happening and what to expect. Finding people cutting down trees etc. are they there with your knowledge or rogue.
      A plan made for the cattle to be rounded up could we be told in advance. Des and I could of maybe helped but if we hadn't seen it happening we would of looked for the cows needlessly and been disappointed not to find any.
      Stay Safe, Marina & Des

    4. Hi Marina
      Sorry for the delay in response - our new email system pops all these reply notifications in a separate folder and sometimes I don't spot them for a while!
      Thank you for your comments regarding communication with lookers. I will certainly pass this on to the rest of the team so that we can try our best to keep you updated in advance, although I would note that, particularly in the current circumstances of the pandemic, our plans a have to be quite fluid as we have to react to short notice changes in plan due to staff members self-isolating and various other challenges! I will raise the point at our next Monday meeting!
      Many thanks for all your hard work keeping an eye on the cattle!
      Susanne
