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 17th March - All 22 seen

    Steers 30, 217, 220, 222, 230 plus cows 72 and 940 were found grazing around ///dwarves.soaps.enjoy at 10:40 this morning.  Steers 20, 21, 35, 219 and 228 were a little further north over the brow of the hill, grazing around ///ghost.icons.spellings.  The light drizzle wasn't putting them off the large amounts of heather they were eating.  They were all happy, relaxed and looking well.

    Yearlings 270 and 271 were found grazing with Sussex steers 197 and 210 plus cows 212 and 1396 around ///dice.match.besotted at 11:00.  Just before 11:15 steer 33 came walking over from the gorse bushes to the southeast, near the Lookout.  He stopped briefly upon seeing the others, before walking off down the hill to meet up with the main group, who were now gathered around ///grub.motel.thudding.   A short time later, Sussex cow 211 and steers 1626 and 1648 came wandering along from the west.  All nine cows joined up and stood and chewed their cud near the path.

    At 11.35 yearling 270 started mooing softly, before setting off down the hill to join the others.  Yearling 271 stayed behind and started to graze.  After a short time, I went down to join the group of fourteen.  Youngster 217 was lying down, while the others were all standing together, chewing their cud.

    Shortly before 11:50, I lost sight of the cows at the top of the hill.  Slightly concerned that yearling 271 hadn't come down, I wandered back up to find him.  As I neared the top, I heard a loud moo and found him alone at ///salon.boasted.spans.  He was standing looking at the Sussex cows who were way off in the distance to the southwest.  After standing with him for a bit, I walked off back towards the hill and he followed.  He then followed me the entire way down the hill, before we met up with the others.  After about ten minutes, all fifteen cows wandered off down towards the Bourley Road.

    The cows were all good today.
