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!

    Sunday 18th February - All 22 seen - Steer 210 has small bald patches on his neck and shoulders

    At 10:00 this morning, steers 20, 21, 33, 35, and 228 plus cow 72 were climbing up the hill near ///haggling.cooks.flux. Steers 30, 219, 222, 270 and 271 plus cow 940 were all grazing on the pasture at the mid-point of the hill.  They soon climbed up and joined the others who had started grazing in the gorse bushes opposite.  This group was returning from a night spent down near Bourley Road.

    Steers 217, 220 and 230 were grazing in the gorse bushes near ///edge.afternoon.bits at 10:25.  They had earlier wandered along from the south-west, where they had spent the night.  All three came out of the bushes and took big drinks of water from the puddles.  They wandered over to the area around ///rating.mush.matter, where they began grazing with the other cows.

    Cow 211 and steer 210 were grazing in the area around ///describes.learn.robot near James Bond pond at 10:55.  The other five were eating gorse in the bushes to the west of them.  Slowly, cows 212 and 1396 plus steer 1626 emerged from the bushes and started to graze in the heather with the other two.  By 11:40, steer 210 and cows 212 and 1396 were lying, relaxing and chewing their cud in the sunshine.  Steers 197 and 1640 remained eating in the gorse bushes.

    While steer 210 was grazing, I noticed he had small bald patches on both sides of his neck and on both of his shoulders. I've let the Grazing team know.

    The fifteen originals weren't too far away from the seven Sussex cattle.  Steers 30, 35, 219 and 230 were all lying down around ///woke.hound.unwind at noon.  The other eleven cows were all spread out in a big circle around them, eating in the gorse bushes.

    The cows were all good today.
