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!

    Thursday 25th January - All 19 seen

    The cows were still in the same two groups as yesterday.

    Ten cows were on their favourite Sandy Hill corner at 12:30.  Most were standing, relaxing and chewing their cud.  Youngster 220 was lying down, resting.  They were all happy and relaxed.  The cows were really friendly today, with me receiving a warm welcome.
     
    Older steers 20 and 33 were standing a bit further east along the track.  They were looking down in the direction of Horse Pond and mooing.  I wandered along to see them, and heard mooing coming back.  When I looked down I could see the group of seven, steers 21, 30, 217, 219, 270 and 271 plus cow 940, in the distance near the pond.

    A short time later, Sean turned up, and I returned to the corner to catch up.  While we were chatting, the group of seven all arrived, having climbed up the side of Sandy Hill.  They, too, were all looking well.

    After Sean left, the cow's continued to stand and chew their cud on the corner.  After a while, youngster 228 decided to have a lie down.  It looked like others were getting ready to join him.

    The cows were all good today.
