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 16th February - All 25 seen

    The cattle were spread out but grazing in roughly the same area as yesterday, near ///debate.dude.uncle, at 10:00 this morning. As I spent some quiet time with youngster 230, many others emerged from the gorse bushes and began climbing the hill. Steers 21, 219, 220, 222, 228 and 1626, along with cows 211, 212, 214, and 234, wasted no time reaching the area near ///stood.raft.dull, where they settled in to graze.

    Others took a more leisurely approach, frequently pausing to rest and chew their cud or stopping to enjoy the heather and gorse along the way. The group that were on the hill eventually stopped climbing and instead followed the track west, continuing to graze as they went.

    Steers 33, 197, 210, 217, and 1640, along with cow 1396, chose to remain in the gorse bushes to graze, only emerging around 11:15. They didn't seem in a hurry to catch up with the rest of the herd, instead gathering near ///bulb.upset.lordship to relax and chew their cud. 

    Steer 33 had a scratch on his rear right leg today, likely from catching it on gorse or bramble while grazing in the thicket. As with yesterday, it wasn’t causing him any issues, and he was moving around just fine.

    By 11:40, most of the cattle had made their way to the pastures on both sides of the path near ///notion.ironclad.fled. The group of six, along with a few stragglers, took a shortcut to join them, avoiding the steepest part of the hill. Shortly afterwards, I said my goodbyes, leaving them all happily grazing.

    A Thames Motorcycle Club event was taking place on Hungry Hill today.

    The cows were all good today.
