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!

    New look, Old face


    Yes – your blog looks different!       Your blog has been updated to give it a facelift and a fresher feel. This should also ensure it still contains relevant and up-to-date information for you which can actually help you with your Lookering when you log on.  The functionality and the way you post your livestock checks remains the same so hopefully you shouldn’t have any problems. Please let me know by email if you encounter any problems with the new blog or have any comments. 

    And by the way, I am back from maternity leave this week! It’s nice to be back.

    Lead poisoning

    Hi all,

    Just to update you, as requested, we have had post mortem results confirming lead poisoning. We are as yet unsure of the exact material the cows have ingested that contains the lead but we have been conducting a number of searches on site for possible contaminants. Many thanks to those of you who have been able to give up more of your time to assist with these.

    We will be doing some intensive litter picking on Friday 2nd September and Sat 3rd September, to remove as much litter and refuse as possible from key areas of the site. Do get in touch if you would like to help out.

    We are waiting on the lab to identify the form in which the lead has been ingested and will keep you all informed as and when we know. it may take several weeks. Meanwhile attempts are still being made to get the last cow and calf off the site but she is not playing the game! We will keep trying.

    Many thanks

    T9 at 8.30am

    At last I found the Cow and Calf, looking very relaxed in the woods in the whales tail.

    Friday, 22 July 2011

    yesterday, at about noon, I found cow and calf in woods about 200 yards north of water tower. Both looked well and undisturbed by the firing taking place not far away.

    collar for 197

    We believe 197 british white may have thrown its collar - pleasr leave the collar on site if this is the case so that staff can retrieve it....
