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!

    Sunday 26th February - All 17 seen

    All seventeen cows were found spread out along the far end of Sandy Hill at 11:20 this morning.  Most were either standing relaxing and chewing their cud or busy munching on gorse and leaves from the bushes.  Cow 217 was scratching his rear end against a thick tree branch.  Cow 72 was the last to be found and was standing halfway down the slope to Longbottom eating holly leaves around ///renting.splat.digests.

    The cows all slowly made their way down to the path along Longbottom and wandered to ///wasp.breaches.club, grazing as they went.  They found some grass and continued to graze in the sunshine.  By 12:20 they had started to lie down, rest and relax.  Cow 30 found a lovely spot buried in some bracken.

    The cows were all good today.

    Youngsters 217, 219, 221, 222, 226 and 228 were all busy grazing in the area around ///printout.kings.drags at 11:30 this morning.  Older cow 33 and youngsters 213 and 235 were buried in a nearby gorse bush munching away happily.  Youngsters 220 and 230 were in their own gorse bush a little bit further away.

    All eleven began to lie down, relax, and chew their cud in the valley around ///topic.sway.tablet at 12:10, which sheltered them from the cold wind.

    Older cows 30 and 72 were lying down relaxing and chewing their cud in the area around ///remit.joke.vaulting at 12:55.  Cows 35 and 940 were stood alongside.  The other two, cows 20 and 21, were initially grazing close by, but they soon stopped and started to chew their cud.

    The cows were all good today.

    Wednesday 22nd February - All 17 seen - problematic Sandy Hill gate now has chain + padlock on it

    Cows 35, 219, 220, 221, 222, 226 and 235 were spread out grazing along the side of the path between Caesar's and Gelvert in the area around ///alley.lizard.class at 10:30 this morning.  They were all very wet and were munching on gorse and leaves from the bushes.  Cows 20 and 33 were deep in the gorse bushes eating.

    The group of nine slowly made their way towards ///hiked.tiger.workers where cows 72, 213, 230 and 940 were already grazing.  Youngster 228 soon joined as well, coming from the same direction as the nine.  

    The group of fourteen slowly made their way towards ///milky.cloak.engineers where cows 21 and 217 were grazing.   Cow 30 made an appearance at 11:25 coming from the same direction the others had come from.  He must have hiding in a gorse bush, as I couldn't find him when I searched the Shell garage end of the site.

    The cows were all very relaxed and continued to graze happily.  They had made it to ///fights.elders.firmly shortly before noon.

    For awareness, the problematic kissing gate on Sandy Hill now has a metal chain and padlock on it.  I'm assuming the Reserves Team are aware.  Have photo if required.

    The cows were all good today.
