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!

    Wednesday 9th October - All 25 seen - Yearling 271's collar isn't working

    Cows 234 and 940, along with steers 21, 30, 217, 228 and 270, were happily grazing near ///grows.rust.water at 16:50. They were enjoying the heather and leaves from the bushes. Youngster 217 was initially foraging for acorns before taking a break to munch on some heather. They were all looking well.

    Steers 20, 220 and 222 were found grazing near ///stars.rivals.deputy at 17:20. They were spread out enjoying their dinner. The boys were happy, relaxed and looking well.

    At 17:30, the seven Sussex cattle and youngster 219 were grazing on the hill near ///term.equity.famed. They were enjoying the heather and were looking lovely in the setting sunlight. They were all very friendly and came and said hello, with several of them enjoying back rubs. This group were all good.

    Steer 33 and cow 72 were munching on leaves in the thicket near ///exists.mime.cookie at 17:45. Both were happy and relaxed. While searching in the surrounding area for the others, I heard yearling 271's distinctive moo in the distance. About 10 minutes later, I found him wandering along the path near ///basics.graver.looked. He seemed to have become separated from the others, but soon rejoined British White cow 214 and steer 227, who were grazing nearby in the thicket. Older steer 35 was grazing on the opposite side of the path. They slowly made their way northeast together.

    Despite a thorough search, I couldn't initially find youngster 230. Returning to where I'd left steer 33 and cow 72, I saw they were still grazing on their own. I then climbed back up the hill and spotted steer 230 deep in the thicket near ///height.gosh.haggle.  He was fine, came over to say hello, and then wandered off through the thicket towards the other two.

    I've noticed that yearling 271's tracking collar hasn't been working since the weekend. I'm unsure if it's out of battery or needs a reset, but I likely wouldn’t have found him tonight without hearing his moos.

    The cows were all good today.
