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!

    Warm sunshine

    Lovely afternoon. As we stood on the lookout we saw 8 cows below us, all looking relaxed in the warm sunshine.

    Thursday am

    At least 8 scattered amongst the trees, near where the fence was strength, opposite the Enterprise garage. They were moving around, but the were ignoring the laurel and keeping away from the fence.

    14 WBX back through from Gelvert

    Today we pushed back into Caesars 14 Welsh black crosses. All are looking a little thin so blocks will be put out again where the cattle are grazing most frequently.
    Thanks, Jack

    broken fence

    No cattle as we passed through from Gelvert but broken fence still at T12 - the top wire has been cut and the rest of the fence pushed down.
