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 20th January - All 19 seen

    The cows were all back together and were grazing near James Bond pond in the area around ///prove.owls.array at 09:15 this morning.  Most were eating deep in the gorse bushes, but they would come out and say hello before returning to munch some more.  They were well spread out and were moving around a lot, which made things a bit challenging.  I spent close to an hour looking for youngster 219, who was doing a great job of hiding.

    Steers 220, 228, 230, 270 and 271 all wandered over to the wooded area at the side of James Bond pond where they enjoyed eating lots of leaves.  Steers 20, 30, 35, 217 and 222 started to graze in the pasture to the west of the gorse bushes.  I broke the ice on some pools of water in this area, and youngster 222 wandered over to take a drink.  I also managed to break the thick ice at a couple of points at the edge of the pond.

    By 10:25 several of the cows had started to eat the heather in the area around ///pits.intruded.costly.  Youngster 220 decided to take the weight off his feet and snuggle down in some heather. 

    The red scratches on steer 33's rear feet were gone today.  He was all good and was walking fine.  

    The cows were all good today.
