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!

    Friday 29th December - All 19 seen

    Steers 33, 220, 227 and 228 were all munching on gorse from the bushes around ///golf.tanks.fights at 12:30 this afternoon.  After a short while, they all came together and stood in the sunshine.  They were all looking well.

    Fifteen minutes later, steers 30, 35 and 217, plus cow 234 were all grazing in the area around ///habits.fizzy.cool. They were enjoying lots of heather. It was quite swampy in bits, but it wasn't causing them any issues. They were happy and relaxed.

    The other eleven cows were spread out, grazing along the main path down near the Beacon Hill Road entrance around ///info.ideals.hops down shortly before 13:00.  Most were enjoying the grass, but a few went into the gorse bushes on the south side of the path.  The second group of four cows soon turned up, with the three steers joining steer 20 in standing, relaxing and chewing their cud.  Cow 234 joined the other cows in grazing.

    By 13:20, youngsters 215 and 219 had reached the area around ///heat.monk.proved where they started to relax and chew their cud.  They were soon joined by some others.  About five minutes later, the initial four steers turned up as well, mooing as they arrived.  They, too, started to rest.   Steer 219 had really muddy feet today, so I couldn't see if his scratch had healed, but I expect he was fine.

    The cows were all good today.
