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!

    Tuesday 6th February - All 22 seen

    Steers 217, 230 and 271 were lying down in the heather at the side of the small hill around ///takers.scrambles.puppy at 12:40 this afternoon.  They were relaxing and chewing their cud.  They were all looking well.

    The other twelve Caesar's originals were wandering at pace along Longbottom from Horse Pond to the area around ///ripen.drip.functions at 13:10.  Upon their arrival, most stopped and stared at the seven Sussex cattle who were together grazing in the area.  Youngsters 219 and 222 started to approach the newbies, who all walked off together, climbing the hill.  The duo were quite persistent and followed the newbies all the way along to ///mainly.scars.emphasis where they paused.  They remained calm and non-aggressive to the newbies throughout.  The Sussex's continued into the thicket.  Steer 222 gave up and wandered back to the others.  Youngster 219 decided to follow the newbies some more.

    The main group had climbed halfway up the hill to ///yacht.after.rots where they were standing chewing their cud.  They were all looking happy and relaxed.  At 13:25, youngster 219 came running back, mooing repeatedly as he arrived.  He was out of breath and had a rest.  He didn't seem too happy that nobody had followed him.

    I didn't get a chance to properly check the Sussex's today as they were on the move while I was with them, but they all seemed fine.  They didn't seem particularly bothered about the other cows and were just happy to walk away.  I did go and have a quick look for them after I'd checked the main group, but couldn't find them.  Hopefully they'll settle into their new home and when ready integrate into the herd.
     
    The cows were all good today.
