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!

    Wednesday 21st February - All 22 seen

    The seven Sussex cattle and older steer 21 were grazing on Hungry Hill in the area around ///highs.slopes.woof at 14:00. Older cows 72 and 940 were grazing nearby. They were all eating lots of gorse. Older steer 21 kept on wandering up to the Sussex cows and sniffing them, causing them to walk away from him. It was all friendly, though. The cows were all wet.
    The other twelve steers were all found in the area around ///richer.skewing.food at 14:40. Steers 30, 33, 35, 219, 222, 230, 270 and 271 were all lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud under the trees. Most had made beds out of bracken, with the two yearlings finding a really nice spot to lie and rest together. Steers 217 and 228 were standing chewing their cud. Steers 20 and 220 were eating gorse close by. Despite being really wet, they all seemed happy enough. I noticed that older steer 33 had some bald patches on his back, and youngster 217 had a bald patch on his right-hand side. I've shared some photos with the Grazing team. The cows were all good today.
