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!

    Saturday 30th December - All 19 seen - Cow 234 has scratch on her rear right leg

    The cows were well spread out in small groups grazing in the pasture around ///nooks.hush.blur at 11:15 this morning.  They were rather wet, but that didn't stop them from enjoying lots of heather.

    Youngster 227 was grazing to the north, in the thicket around ///oldest.nurtures.cuter.  Steers 33 and 220 were close by.  

    The cows all slowly moved east, getting to the gorse bushes near James Bond pond around ///swanky.fled.jetliner at 12:10.  There were frequent rain showers around that time, so many of the cows stayed in the bushes and ate or rested and chewed their cud.  After the rain stopped, steers 35, 217, 219 and 228 all emerged and went grazing on the pasture to the east.

    Cow 234 has a red scratch on her rear right leg.  It looks like a scrape from some gorse, but because she was wet it had spread.  She was walking fine and had climbed up a hill to some higher ground where she was grazing.  Otherwise, she seemed to be okay.  Youngster 219's foot was fine today, with no sign of the previous scratch.

    The cows were all good today.
