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 5th January - All 19 seen - cow 940 walking a little tentatively on rear right leg on harder ground

    The cows were all back together and were happily grazing along Sandy Hill at 10:15 this morning.    Most were spread out eating in the many gorse bushes, but they'd take a break and come out and say hello.  Youngsters 215, 219 and 222 plus older cow 940 were a bit further west, munching on leaves from the bushes and grass at the side of the path.

    I noticed that older cow 940 was occasionally walking a little tentatively on her rear right leg on the harder path.  She was being a little cautious when placing her leg down on the ground.  On softer ground, she was absolutely fine.  I'll keep an eye on her over the next couple of days.

    The herd started to come together at their favourite Sandy Hill corner from about 10:45.  Older steers 21 and 30 were the last to wander along and join fifteen minutes later.  Most of the cows were happily munching on grass on the corner itself.  Several preferred to take a break, stand and relax, and chew their cud.

    The cows were all good today.
