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 15th January - All 25 seen

    A mixed group of twenty cattle were grazing either in the gorse bushes northwest of their favourite Sandy Hill corner or on the hill's slope at 09:15 this morning. The ones munching in the bushes would occasionally emerge to say hello and be checked, with several enjoying strokes and rubs. It was nice to see steer 210 reunited with the other Sussexes, happily grazing alongside them deep in the gorse. All twenty cattle were happy, relaxed, and looking well.

    Cow 234 had been munching on gorse by Horse Pond but was beginning to make her way up Sandy Hill when I caught up with her around 09:40. She stopped briefly to say hello before continuing her climb. She was happy, relaxed, and in good health.

    At 09:55, steers 227 and 270 were grazing near ///united.cost.enthused, east of Horse Pond. They were content and enjoying the heather. Youngster 228, who had been grazing in the pasture across the path, soon wandered over to join them. Yearling 271 was further into the gorse bushes near ///spoon.grownup.tidal, happily enjoying his breakfast on his own. All four steers were healthy, relaxed, and in good condition. As I was leaving, I heard yearling 271's distinctive moo as he appeared to be calling out for his friends.

    After finishing with the boys, I returned to Sandy Hill to spend more time with the larger group. Several cattle emerged from the gorse to greet me and enjoyed additional strokes and back rubs.

    The cattle were all good today.
