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 30th June - All 25 seen - cow 940 still limping badly + no change to the lump on steer 228's face

    The seven Sussex cattle were found lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud in the area around ///engage.allow.giant at 09:30 this morning.  They were all happy and looking really well.

    Eleven of the Caesar's originals were found in the area around ///ranks.kiosk.lorry at 10:00.  Ten were lying down, relaxing and chewing their cud in the long grass, heather and bracken.  They were all looking good.  Youngster 228 was up and about, happily munching on lots of long grass.  He soon came over and said hello and lay down beside me.  He quickly started to relax and chew his cud.  Sadly, the lump on his face doesn't appear to be getting any better.  Is there anything more that can be done to understand what the lump is, and what could be done to treat it, please?

    Cows 72 and 940 were lying down, relaxing in the area around ///foods.lilac.rips at 10:30.  Steers 20 and 35 were munching on long grass on the slope of the hill to the south.  They were both good.  Youngsters 214 and 222 were lying at the edge of the path, a little to the north.  They were both happy and relaxed, and enjoyed big stretches.  Older steer 21 was lying down, hiding in the bracken, on the far side of the path.  After a while, cow 940 got up and had a stretch.  She then took a few steps forward to reposition herself, and she was still limping.  She soon lay back down and took the weight off her sore foot.

    As I moved between groups two and three, I walked past the covered reservoir and the gate was still padlocked.

    Except for cow 940, the cows were all good today.
