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 30th April - All 26 seen - Steer 30 is missing his left ear tags

    Steer 21 was found by himself around ///pots.passes.lied at the Royal Pavilion end of the site at 18:15 this evening.  He had been wandering around and mooing, trying to find his herd mates.  After getting no answer, he decided to follow me all the way down Sunny Hill Road and then southwest over the sandy bowl.  He soon started to slow up, and I had to leave him.

    Steer 35 was spotted from afar standing under a tree around ///foggy.giggles.smoke at 18.30.  I wandered over to check him and found steers 21, 219, 222 and 228 all spread out grazing nearby.  Worried about steer 20 being on his own, I decided to call him.  He mooed from a distance, which prompted the surrounding steers to start mooing, resulting in them all being reunited soon after.

    After resting for a short while, all six then headed off northwest.  They crossed over the main path and continued for a bit before starting to moo again.  Older steer 30 was grazing in the distance around ///home.delved.unframed.  They all wandered down to join him.  Steer 30 has lost the tags from his left ear.

    Cows 72, 215 and 940 plus steers 227 and 230 were found grazing in the area around ///exhale.torso.headset at 19:00.  They were all happy, relaxed and looking well.

    Steers 33, 217, 220, 270 and 271 plus cows 214 and 234 were all spread out grazing around ///lashed.rant.closed just along from the Lookout at 19.15.  Most were munching on the heather.  Yearling 271 was in a very precarious position, grazing on the edge of the hill.  Thankfully, he soon gave up and moved on.  This group were all happy.

    Sussex cows 211 and 1396 were found grazing around ///snacks.swaps.newer at 19:30.  They carried on grazing in the thicket before turning northeast to graze in the pasture under the hill.

    The five other Sussex cows were grazing in the wooded area around ///cloak.older.aced at 20:00.  They were all happily munching on grass and leaves.

    The cows were all good today.  They were all over the place, grazing in small groups, which made for an "interesting" search.
