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!

    Saturday 30th November - All 24 seen

    Sussex steers 197, 210, and 1640, along with cows 211 and 212, were grazing deep in the gorse bushes near ///seats.rules.unusable shortly before 09:00 this morning. Despite being tucked away, they all came over to greet me, with cow 212 and steer 1640 fully emerging. Steer 1640 happily let me brush most of the gorse off his back before heading right back into the bushes.

    Shortly after, a mixed group of thirteen cattle were widely spread across the pasture near ///cattle.bowls.attic, grazing in ones and twos. It was a murky morning, with light drizzle falling intermittently. They enjoyed grazing on grass, gorse, and heather as they slowly made their way north toward the gorse bushes where the Sussexes were. Most of them stopped to greet me as they passed, allowing me to check them over.

    At 09:35, the three British Whites were grazing near ///truck.fewer.dozen. They were happy, relaxed and in good condition. Steer 227 was particularly friendly and enjoyed a long back rub. After some time, they moved west, where cows 214 and 234 started grazing across the path from the Sussexes. Older steer 30 grazed alone a little to the southeast.

    The final group—steers 20, 21, 219, and 220—emerged from the thicket near ///link.waltz.heat at 09:50. They all looked healthy and soon made their way north to join the rest of the herd.

    Most of the cattle ended up grazing in the long row of gorse bushes lining the main path. By 10:15, the Sussexes began to emerge. Cow 211 came over for a proper hello, thoroughly enjoying a long neck rub and giving affectionate head rubs in return. The others continued grazing just to the south. I said my goodbyes shortly after 10:30.

    It was nice to catch up with Jeremy from Foxlease, who was out walking his dog on Caesar's this morning.

    The cows were all good today.
