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!

    Monday 18th September - All 19 seen

    Youngsters 217 and 220 were grazing together in the area around ///maybe.fits.cages at 17:00 this afternoon.  Youngster 230 was grazing close by in the bracken around ///mild.lamps.smart a short time later.   They were all looking well and happily munching away in the late afternoon sunshine.  I was really surprised that they were still away from the others, particularly after the massive thunderstorm late last night.

    The other sixteen cows were together in the area around  ///stars.votes.flags at 17:25.  Most were lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud despite the rather windy conditions.  A few were having an afternoon snooze.  Cows 72 and 940 plus yearlings 270 and 271 were up and about and were munching on the fresh grass beside the others.  Older steer 21 was eating leaves from the trees south-east of where the cows were lying.

    At just before 18:00, the cows started to get up and have a big stretch.  Steers 20 and 30 joined steer 21 in the trees.   Cow 72 and yearling 270 wandered off in a westerly direction to graze in the thicket.  The other eleven headed into the trees to the north, where they enjoyed some leaves before they went off grazing down Sunny Hill Road towards Bourley Road.

    The cows were all good today.
