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!

    Collars giving early warning

     All good and look to still be enjoying the fresh grass by the gate dividing the fields. Collar was giving warning about 2 m from the gate to the track leading up to the canal. This might be by design but the grass towards that fence looks tasty

    In far paddock all good

     Not sure if the gate is meant to be open but it is and the girls are loving the lash grass by the gates

    Friday 27th March

    Reported on Pondtail Blog, but I agree about the gate issue, (although I'd be very impressed if the cows could get through!😄).

    Gate towards stream not easy to close

     The gate by the ford in the stream is not easy to close and is being left open. The inner tube is doing its job of keeping the gate close in but it rests 10cm open 

    All good

     As no one had checked them since Wednesday popped in to see the girls in their new home. Very happy munching the heather

    Wednesday 25th March - COW MOVE

    Girls moved to Pondtail this afternoon at 12.18. 
    Happy with the prospect of a bit more to eat! 

    For the time being they are grazing the half of pondtail closest to bramshot whilst I sort a couple of fencing issues on the other half nearest the canal
