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!

    Tuesday 1st July - All 25 seen

    Had to travel unexpectedly for work today, so didn't get to check on the cattle until a bit later this evening.

    Thirteen members of the original herd were either resting under the trees west of Horse Pond or on the grass just outside still in the shade of the trees. Despite the heat, they were all doing well.  They were keeping hydrated with a few taking drinks from the pond. 

    Steer 227 was grazing nearby, with steers 35, 217, 220 and 228 grazing a bit further north mostly in the bracken. The boys were all happy, relaxed, and looking well.

    Four of the Sussex cattle were grazing at the side of the path to the north of James Bond Pond. They were all very friendly. Nearby, the other three were alternating between grazing and relaxing and chewing their cud. All seven were happy and healthy.

    Will do a full update and add some photos in a while.

    We'll be rounding up the cattle this coming Thursday 3rd July to change collars + replace batteries. 

    Cheers
