Welcome to the Caesar's Camp Lookers' Blog: Wednesday 28th June

Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

Call the office on 01256 381190.
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.
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!

Wednesday 28th June - All 15 seen

The cows were all together in the area around ///pipes.geese.ruffling at 17:55 this evening. Fourteen were spread out, but all lying down together, resting and chewing their cud. Youngster 228 was having a little nap. Occasionally they'd get up and have a stretch before repositioning and lying back down. Unfortunately, the flies were back, and the cows were having to constantly shake them off. Several of the cows had tried to bury themselves in the bracken.

Older steer 21 was initially grazing by himself, close by, but to the north of where the other cows were lying. By 18:30 he too was lying down in amongst the bracken, relaxing and chewing his cud. He was still a little away from the main group around ///hospitals.taken.flagged but was happy and relaxed.

The cows were all good this evening.
