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!

    Thursday 22nd June - All 15 seen

    The cows were all found in the area around ///vies.claw.tastes at 17:40 this afternoon. Most of them were lying down, resting in little groups. They were either chewing their cud or snoozing. They'd occasionally get up, have a stretch and lie back down. Within twenty minutes, they were all lying down relaxing except for the two girls, cows 72 and 940, who were standing together chewing their cud. 

    The cows were much more comfortable and relaxed this afternoon than they were yesterday. There were still flies present, but not as bad as yesterday. The cows were able to rest without having to constantly shake them off. Youngsters 219 and 228 worked out that if they wandered up and stood close to me, that I’d help keep the flies away. They both stood beside me and chewed their cud for a good ten minutes each before lying back down. 

    As I left them at 18:30, the girls had started grazing in the surrounding area. The other thirteen were all lying down. Youngster 222 was properly sprawled out, snoozing. 

    The cows were all good today.
