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!

     Found 6 at yourself.deflated.recoup

    No sign of any others despite a drive round the entire site! Back again tomorrow to find them. 

    Wednesday 18th January - All 17 seen

    Cows 72, 217 and 219 were seen grazing in the area around ///lawn.swooning.study at 12:40 this afternoon.  Even though it was rather cold, they all seemed happy eating in the sunshine.

    Cow 217 was seen again standing chewing his cud at the side of a gorse bush around ///those.clouds.stalemate at the Shell Garage end of site at 13:25.  Cows 33, 72, 213, 219 and 221 were all spread out, buried in gorse bushes happily munching away.  I initially missed cows 21 and 220, but found them on the way back.

    Youngsters 222, 226 and 230 were huddled together relaxing and chewing their cud at ///event.elbow.conjured a while later.  Cows 235 and 940 were close by, also lying down.  Cows 30 and 35 were standing chewing their cud, but cow 30 soon lay down.  

    Cows 20 and 228 were eating gorse from bushes around ///cactus.laughs.flats a short while later.

    Horse Pond and James Bond Pond were both frozen, but I was able to break the ice fairly easily.  I also broke the ice on numerous large puddles as I made my way around the site.

    The cows were all good today.

    Older cows 20, 21, 30, 33 and 35 were all buried deep in the gorse bushes around ///briefer.undercuts.snows a short while later.  Cow 940 was eating just outside the same bushes before going in and joining the boys.

    Youngsters 213, 217, 220, 221, 226, 228 and 235 were all eating gorse and heather in the area around ///feelers.trend.shielding.  They all seemed happy and relaxed.  I'm not sure where cow 230 had been hiding, but he came around the corner from the direction of the Lookout, mooing loudly at about 14:35.  He soon joined the others grazing.

    Saturday 14th January - All 17 seen

    Judging by how relatively dry most were, the cows must have been hunkered down among the trees, sheltering from the heavy overnight and morning rain and wind.

    Cow 72 was found by herself with her head over the fence munching on leaves in the area around ///lonely.rides.gangs at 13:35 this afternoon.

    Cows 20, 30, 35, 213, 220 and 235 were all spread out munching on gorse and heather in the area around ///order.apple.hosts about fifteen minutes later.  

    Cows 33, 217, 219, 221, 222, 226, 228, 230 and 940 were also spread out grazing in the area around ///thing.shed.reason.  Most were buried in gorse bushes, munching away happily.

    Cow 21 was found by himself a little bit further down at ///loans.zest.piano.   He, too, was busy eating.

    The cows were all good today.

     Fourteen were standing huddled at the far side of the silver birch wood by the open sandy area. They looked fed up with the rain! Three youngsters were a little way away, and eating. All were well.
