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 24th September - All 19 seen

    The same group of sixteen cows as yesterday had assembled at the cow shed shortly before 10:00 this morning, but couldn't get into it because the army had commandeered it.  They quickly got bored and wandered up to the area around ///loyal.mugs.grid where they spread out and started to graze.  They were enjoying a mix of grass and leaves from the various bushes and trees.   The cows were all happy and very relaxed, and it was nice to spend some quiet time with them.

    The three youngsters were continuing their adventures together.  Steer 228 was munching on grass up on the bank around ///into.crouches.awake at 10:55.  He wandered over and said hello.  Steers 217 and 222 were in the trees opposite, hunting for acorns.  After about 20 minutes, they wandered out and joined youngster 228.   All three then continued to hunt for acorns at the base of the trees as they followed the path in a north-east direction.  I don't remember them hunting for acorns this early on before, and certainly not leaving the herd for days on end to do so.  They don't actually appear to be finding too many yet, so aren't eating large quantities, but they are determined.  One to keep an eye on.

    Returning to the first group, and ten cows had moved down to the area around ///cities.unit.about by 11:40 where they were continuing to graze.  Cows 21, 30, 33, 214 and 227 were still grazing in the original thicket but soon left and wandered down to join them.  By noon, they were all lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud.  Steer 35 had somehow made it to ///recall.bars.vows where he was standing alone in the wide open chewing his cud.  After a short while, he slowly wandered diagonally across the sandy area to the trees near to where the cows were lying and had a good scratch.

    The cows were all good today.
