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!

    Thanks to Ruth, I found the cows at 10:30 this morning, Jericho out in the open in L4 chewing away looking fine in the sunshine.  The others were deep in the woods in K3. Daisy was fine laying with head down on the ground, Morag had some flies on her face but nothing too bad today but did have lots of woodland stuck in her coat. Crumple was sitting down very still but with a weeping left eye again like last year with lots of flies buzzing around the eye area and lastly to poor old Bambi.  She was standing looking very irritated by all the flies and like yesterday afternoon, there were loads of flies around her.  I stood and watched for a while, she brushed away some flies from her side and there is definately, what looks like, a dark/black wound there to which the flies immediately returned.    I am concerned for these 3 at the moment so will make a quick call to the office first thing tomorrow morning and hopefully get them some attention.
