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 21st May - All 25 seen

    Sussex steer 197 and cow 212 were happily munching on fresh grass at the far west end of Sandy Hill at 16:45 this afternoon.  Cow 1396 and steer 1626 were close by, standing under a tree, sheltering from the light rain around ///clerk.risky.lure.  They were relaxing and chewing their cud.  Cow 211 was standing beside them, a bit more out in the open.  She was her usual friendly self and came and said hello and received an ear rub.  The other two, steers 210 and 1640, were munching on leaves and grass down by the path at Longbottom.   The Sussex cattle were all looking well.

    A mixed group of thirteen cows were found in the area around ///pace.cages.swims at the Shell garage end of the site at 17:10.  Most were standing, relaxing and chewing their cud.  They were not being put off by the light rain.  Yearling 271 was the only one grazing, enjoying lots of grass.  Steer 227 and yearling 270 quickly lay down at the side of the path and started to rest.  It looked like the others were going to follow suit.  They were all happy, relaxed and looking well.

    Older steers 20, 30 and 35 were initially grazing a little further east, in the area around ///soda.reaction.emulated at 17.30.  They quickly stopped and stared to relax and chew their cud.  Youngster 219 soon came wandering out of the thicket and joined them.  Older steer 21 was nearby, grazing on his own behind some gorse bushes.  After spending some time with him and giving him a good check, I returned to find steers 20 and 30 lying down.  The five boys were all looking well.

    Cow 940's ear wasn't looking as good today as it had been lately.  The antibiotic spray had worn off, and her ear looked infected again.  She appeared fine though and came and said hello before going and standing beside her best friend, cow 72.  They both started to relax and chew their cud.

    The cows were all good today.
