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!

    late post for Saturday

    Came across about 14 enjoying the cooling boggy area around F/G 16/17 late in the afternoon.  I was actually hunting the Gelvert 11 but they were  playing hide and seek too expertly.  Couldn't get very close to the cattle given the bog, but they seemed very content.

    10 around K27 and another 6 spread out along Long Bottom. All happily grazing beforevit gets too hot.

    All found in and around the small barn near the old pavillion, closest to the MOD entrance.

    They're not daft, good shade there. All appeared happy and healthy with few ticks and zero wounds I could see. Plenty of flies as expected but no symptoms of New Forest on any of them. All good.

    They crammed a lot in there 15 mins later ;)

    Just ten

    Were grazing peacefully alongside the track near the favoured shelter early this evening.  They looked fine.

    Found all but two at H30-G30, all looking well, and enjoying holding up the army in their tanks. The other two were much harder to find, and having driven around the whole site, I returned to Sandy Hill to get a view, then spotted them hiding in the shelter!
