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 28th July - All 25 seen

    I met up with the seven Sussex cattle just beyond their favourite Sandy Hill corner at 10:15 this morning. They were grazing in the direction of Hungry Hill. They all stopped and took a big drink from the large pools of water just before the start of the trees. All seven soon went into the wooded area, where they spread out and started to graze. They were enjoying lots of long grass and leaves from the trees. They were all happy, relaxed and looking well.
    Eleven of the Caesar's originals were found spread out grazing in the thicket around ///stops.envy.found at 10.55. They appeared to be enjoying the cooler conditions under the shade of the trees, but were still being bothered by lots of flies and other beasties. They all slowly moved northeast, down towards the area at the far east of the sandy bowl. All eleven had come together and started to munch on the fresh grass by 11:30. They were all happy and relaxed. It was getting hot, so I think they'd be looking for the shade again soon enough.

    Cow 234 plus steers 21, 217 and 227 were eating in the area near ///speak.blows.flick at 11.40. Youngster 227 came and said hello and received a back scratch. Steer 33 and cow 214 were enjoying lots of leaves from the trees on the east bank of Horse Pond. Youngster 228 was having a paddle in the pond, and was eating some plants growing through the surface. The group of four soon wandered along and joined them. All but cow 234 went into the pond and had a paddle followed by a drink. Cow 234 stayed on dry land and stood under a tree near where the other two were eating leaves. Shortly before noon, all but steer 33, wandered clockwise round the edge of the pond to go into the trees where they started to relax. Balti continued to munch on his leaves. This group were all happy, relaxed and looking well.

    The cows were all good today.
