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 26th May - All 25 seen

    Steers 20 and 220 were happily grazing in the area around ///dare.hotel.loud at 09:40 this morning.  They were both enjoying lots of grass.  The other sixteen originals were spread out on the hill to their southwest around ///bunk.swing.store.  They were nearly all lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud in the sunshine.  Cow 72 and steer 219 were initially standing but soon lay down to rest.  The cows were all happy, relaxed and looking well.

    Just after 10:00, we heard some loud repeated mooing coming from the Horse Pond direction.  I set off to see what the Sussex herd were up to.  I had made it to around ///guru.fewer.worth by 10:05 when there was a tremendous noise and I looked up to see Sussex steers 197, 210 and 1640 plus cow 211 coming running down from Hungry Hill at full speed.  They saw me and all stopped right beside me.  They rested for a couple of minutes, with cow 211 coming to say hello.  I walked with them out onto the path, pointed to where I thought the other three were, and off they went again, running at full speed.

    I walked over to meet up with them around ///legs.majoring.gently five minutes later.  They were all good and were in a huddle saying hello to each other.  Steer 210 quickly went and lay down.  The others all started to eat some grass.  Cow 211 came over to say hello again and was happy to receive an ear and neck rub.  She licked my hand a few times to say thanks.  I noticed that steer 1640 had a runny nose.  I am not sure if this was as a result of his recent running, but one to keep an eye on.

    After returning to the first group just after 10:35, steers 20 and 220 had joined the group and were lying down relaxing near cows 72 and 940.  There didn't appear to be much change in Brie's (cow 940) ear this morning.

    The cows were all good today.
