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 17th September - All 19 seen

    Steers 20 and 33 were grazing in the area around ///bids.they.tarnished at 08:35 this morning.  Cows 21, 30, 72, 222, 228, 271 and 940 were grazing on grass and heather fairly close by.  Cows 214, 234 and yearling 270 were munching on grass a bit further west around ///glee.tragedy.skim at 08:55.   They were all happy and looking well.

    Youngsters 217 and 220 were found grazing around ///wound.retire.cards near James Bond Pond at 09:10.  They, too, were happy and relaxed and carried on grazing slowly west along the side of the main path.  I thought it odd that they were grazing by themselves, but a good search of the surrounding area turned up no additional cows.

    Continuing my search for the missing five, I found steer 35 emerging from the thicket around ///twin.clerk.picnic at 09:45.   He was making his way to the others who were now grazing in two groups, with some cows at ///stable.stunt.chop and the others at ///javelin.mows.pots.   Steer 227 was found making his way towards the first group soon after.  Cows 21 and 940 had started to lie down and relax amongst the second group.  

    Cows 215 and 219 were found grazing on opposite sides of the main path around ///streaking.diver.crisps at 10:15.  They too slowly made their way back to the others.

    Returning again to youngsters 217 and 220 at 10:55 who were now grazing around ///worry.grub.swift, and I was delighted to find youngster 230 with them.  He was happily munching away on fresh grass.  He took a break and came over and said hello, but wouldn't tell me where he was hiding earlier 😀.  All three continued to graze.

    As I was leaving the site at 11:30, the group of sixteen cows were all lying down together, relaxing and chewing their cud around ///javelin.mows.pots.  Cow 214 had completely buried herself in some bracken.

    The cows were all good.  They certainly ensured I did my steps today.
