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 23rd November - All 25 seen

    The cows were all good today.

    Twenty-one ended up relaxing in the sunshine on their favourite Sandy Hill corner after gradually climbing up the slope of Sandy Hill in smaller groups from the area around Horse Pond.

    Steers 21, 227, and 228, along with cow 940, ended up not making the climb and ended up continuing along to Longbottom. Cow 940 climbed the hill to munch on some grass, however, the boys ended up leacving her and wandering all the way back to the pasture north of Horse Pond. I went off to catch up with them, but could see cow 940 following me far off in the distance.

    The boys were good, and after cow 940 arrived, they started to lie down and relax among the heather.

    When I returned to Sandy Hill, most of the herd had moved off to the west, with steers 210, 219, 270, 271, along with cows 214 and 234, foraging for acorns or nibbling for gorse near the pill box.

    Full update and photos to follow in a while.
