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 28th April - All 26 seen

    Steers 20, 30, 217, 220, 227 and 228 plus cows 72 and 940 were wandering east along the path by the Bourley Road at 09:40 this morning.  They all stopped off in the area around ///hedge.simmer.wires to graze on some fresh grass.  They were all rather damp, but steer 227 was soaking.  He came and said hello and was feeling rather sorry for himself.  The others were all good.

    Sussex steers 197 and 210 plus cows 211 and 212 were grazing in the area around ///limits.fixed.remark at 10:15.  They were quite well sheltered from the rain by the thicket.  The other three, cow 1396 plus steers 1626 and 1640, came down from Sandy Hill about ten minutes later, mooing loudly as they arrived.  They rested for a bit, before all seven started to graze on the slope back up to Sandy Hill around ///blocks.televise.spun.  They were all looking well.

    Steer 21 and cow 234 were grazing around ///swept.wiser.will at 10:55.  Cows 214 and 215 plus steers 219, 222, 230, 270 and 271 were grazing under the cover of the trees a bit further northeast around ///calm.rods.cans.  They were all eating lots of leaves from the bushes.  The first two soon wandered along and joined the others.  I went off in a large loop of the surrounding area trying to find the missing steers 33 and 35 with no luck.  When I returned, some of the cows were relaxing and chewing their cud under the trees a bit further northeast, while the others continued to graze.

    The six steers from the first group had made it to the area around ///tube.soils.stays at the Royal Pavilion end of the site by 12:05.  They were all eating leaves in the thicket.  Steers 33 and 35 were with them.  I have no idea how I missed them earlier!  The girls, cows 72 and 940, were still down by the Bourley Road around ///decide.slack.asleep at 12:20.  Cow 940 was munching on heather, while cow 72 relaxed and chewed her cud.

    The cows were all good today.
