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 17th November - All 24 seen

    At 09:30 this morning, the seven Sussex cattle, along with steers 21 and 33, were grazing near ///sofa.predict.evoke, close to Beacon Hill Road. They were happily munching on heather as the sun started to break through the clouds. The Sussexes were particularly friendly, coming over to say hello and allowing me to brush the gorse off their backs.

    Steer 227 was grazing in the gorse bushes near ///twilight.stint.pool, not far from the Lookout, at 10:05. He soon emerged to greet me and enjoyed a neck rub. Nearby, steers 35 and 230 were grazing in the thicket to the east. Both came over to say hello, with youngster 230 especially enjoying a long back rub. All three looked well and seemed happy enough in their small group.

    The remaining twelve cattle were found near ///token.gains.coffee, just along from the Sandy Bowl, at 11:00. Most were busy grazing in the bushes, enjoying gorse and other foliage. Cows 214 and 234 stood side by side in the sunshine, relaxing and chewing their cud. They both wandered over to greet me. I noted there was no sign of the tick bite mark on cow 234 today.

    Gradually, the cows emerged from the thicket, gathering along both sides of the main path under the shade of the trees. They were very friendly, coming over for greetings and standing close to me as they relaxed and chewed their cud. Meanwhile, steers 20, 30, 219, and cow 940 continued grazing among the gorse. By 11:50, most of the cows had settled down to rest. They were all happy, relaxed and in good condition. I said my goodbyes soon after.

    The cows were all good today.
