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 28th May - All 25 seen - didn't appear to be any change to the lump on steer 228's face

    The eighteen original Caesar's cows were well spread out grazing in the pasture around ///solve.crowd.bells at 17:45 this evening.  I had begun to navigate the long grass and swampy ground to check them, but thankfully they started to slowly wander out and cross over the path into the area around ///never.stores.driver fifteen minutes later.  They all enjoyed lots of fresh grass as they moved southeast through the pasture.  The cows were all happy and relaxed despite the light drizzle.

    The cows all continued to graze, with the final two, youngster 230 and yearling 270, crossing over and joining the group at 17:20.  They were all fine.

    There didn't appear to be any change to the lump on youngster 228's face today.  He appeared to be fine and was happily grazing away.  I did report the issue to Tom at HIWWT first thing this morning.  Likewise, there was no noticeable improvement in cow 940's ear either.  Photos below of both.

    At 17:30, six of the Sussex cattle made an appearance, having walked along from Horse Pond.  All six watched with interest from the area around ///power.teams.cars as youngsters 217, 220 and 222 plus yearlings 270 and 271 came wandering in their direction.  Steers 210, 1626 and 1640 all crossed over the path and went and joined them.  They all appeared friendly and fairly relaxed.  The girls, cows 211, 212 and 1396, all stayed on their side of the path and started to graze.

    At just after 17:45, there was some mooing coming from the direction of Horse Pond.  So I set off to search for steer 197.  He was wisely standing under the trees sheltering from a heavy rain shower around ///gold.cello.taskbar.  I joined him, and he was happy to receive a neck rub.  After about ten minutes, he wandered northeast along the path and started to graze on the grass at the side.  His fellow Sussex herd mates were all grazing in the thicket on the north side of the path.  Soon after, they all reunited.

    The cows were all good this evening.
