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!

    Saturday 1st August - All 25 seen - Steer 1640 has a healing cut on his left side

    The cattle were found in five groups today and were all doing well. Although it was still very warm, temperatures were a little lower than they have been recently, and the cattle were noticeably more active.

    Sussex steer 1640 has a healing cut on his left flank. The injury isn't new and appears to be around a day old, with a protective crust already formed. Even so, a number of flies were still gathering around it. He was perfectly content for me to take a closer look and gently clean the area, which helped keep the flies away for a while. Otherwise, he was fine, moving around without any issues and was seen both grazing and resting.

    Will do a full update and add a few photos lat
