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 31st December - All 25 seen

    At 09:45 this morning, cow 940 was browsing in the gorse bushes northeast of James Bond Pond. She was very friendly, coming straight over to greet me and enjoying plenty of strokes. After a while, she followed me into the pasture to the northwest near ///finer.swims.poses, where steers 30, 35, 220, 228, and 1626 were enjoying the frost‑tipped gorse and heather. Youngster 228 was especially friendly, happily accepting a neck and chin rub before settling in for a long back scratch. All six cattle were relaxed, content, and looking well despite the chilly start.

    By 10:35, the remaining nineteen cattle were spread out grazing in the pasture and along the two dense rows of gorse south of James Bond Pond near ///duos.crunching.nails. They were all very friendly as I moved around checking on them, with many coming over to say hello and enjoy some attention. Several were content to rest and be fussed over, returning the affection with gentle head rubs and licks. I spent a good while moving among them, and they were all happy, relaxed, and in good condition.

    By 12:15, most of the herd had settled into smaller groups to rest in the sunshine, either along the southernmost track by the pond or in the pasture to the south near ///regress.melt.sorters. Older steers 20 and 21, along with youngsters 219 and 222, were still happily foraging for acorns beneath the large trees to the southwest.

    The cows were all good today.

    All the very best for 2026!
