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!

    Monday 22nd January - All 19 seen

    An extra check today to ensure the cows were all okay after Storm Isha battered the UK overnight.

    Steers 20, 21 and 222 were all lying down and relaxing around ///herring.worker.arose at 13:50.  They had all made beds out of some bracken and were looking snug.  Steer 30 was lying down on the other side of some gorse bushes.  Cow 72 was grazing behind him.  This group were all good.

    The other fourteen cows were found in the area around ///towels.groom.mild at 14:10.  Most were lying down, realxing and chewing their cud in a big huddle.  Cows 214 and 234 plus steer 217 were standing, but soon lay down beside the others.  Youngster 220 was lying down in a nice sheltered spot slightly away from the main huddle.  Steers 35 and 230 were grazing close by.  This group were all looking well too.

    As I was wandering back, I met the first five cows just as they were wandering past Horse Pond at 14.35.  Steers 30 and 222 had stopped and were eating some leaves in the bushes.  The other three started to head south-west, looking like they were going to climb up Sandy Hill.

    I didn't really cover much of the site today, but the areas I did visit were all okay.  There didn't appear to be any damage or trees down etc.

    The cows were all good today.
