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!

    Tuesday 30th March. 13 seen

    Thirteen found scattered around the quarry pond but although I then followed them for an hour or more the other five were nowhere to be seen. I don’t think they were within a quarter to half mile radius. Eventually reluctantly gave up! 

    Missing ones -

    We saw the 3 youngsters as we came through one of the Sandy Hill gates. Then 9 on or about the steep stoney path off Ceasers Camp, they all looked well if a little itchy. No sign of the others (023,030,033,072,176,177). Stay Safe, Marina & Des

    Two groups seen on Saturday afternoon

    One group, of 8, was relaxing on the slopes below Sandy Hill, early afternoon and another, of 5, was close to the James Bond pond. Couldn't find the others, but those I saw were looking well.

     We walked from Sandy Hill over to James Bond pond then around and through the gorse across from the fishing lake boundary. Then criss crossed through the trees back to Sandy Hill. Plenty of signs but no actual cows. Shorter walk than usual as Des has pulled a calf muscle. Stay Safe, Marina & Des
