Welcome to the Caesar's Camp Lookers' Blog: Tuesday 11th July

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!

Tuesday 11th July - All 19 seen

All nineteen cows were together in the area around ///than.doted.purifier at 17.30 this evening. A mixed group of eleven were all lying down together, relaxing and chewing their cud. Cows 215, 220 and 228 were lying down a little to the west of the main group. Older steers 20, 30 and 35 were lying down, lined up in a row a little to the east of the main group close to the path.

Older steer 21 and youngster 217 wandered off in a north-east direction to the end of the path and had a drink from some puddles. They circled back around, grazing in the thicket as they returned to the group. Youngster 217 lay down and tried to hide in some bracken very close to the main group. Older steer 21 lay down beside the other three steers.

Unfortunately, cow 215 was lying down and hadn't got up for a stretch by the time I left them at 18.10, so I wasn't able to check to see if her scratch was healing OK. She was very relaxed and was happily resting and chewing her cud.

The cows were all good this evening.
