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!

    Cattle all well

    I was on site today so I caught up with the cattle. All 4 were in the middle of the heath doing a good job grazing. All looked well, although the belty was getting mobbed by flies. Cheers

    Finally found them tucked in a thicket in D5, looked fine, chewing the cud, Morag standing others sitting.  I have never found them in that spot before and nearly tripped over them.  It is getting more difficult with the bracken growing so fast.
    I am away next week, so no Tuesday looking.

    All laying up in K10

    I visited the site today to check the girls and carry out a reptile survey. the girls were all laying in the shad in K10 under the big oaks. They all looked good, clean and tick free from what I could see which is great news. I found 1 grass snake and four slow worms as well for those of you interested. Elliott

    visited yesterday 12/6 @ 1pm

    All the girls happily grazing in the shade around by the water trough. the trough is working fine ,i removed a little water and it filled back up.

    All were gazing happily in H7 this morning around 8:20.  No issues but as Sue has commented, there is quite a lot of foxglove around at the moment and although it does look pretty I believe it is poisonous so should we be concerned?

    Tuesday 10 June 8:30am

    All peacefully grazing in the sunshine J11.  They haven't moved far from I11, where they were grazing about 12 hours ago, yesterday evening.  Morag was hiding behind a clump of bracken, which is growing like mad.  Are there any plans to control it this year?  There are also quite a few foxgloves in that area, I don't recall noticing them before, I don't suppose they are good for cows either.

    everythings very peaceful and all seems extremely calm as the girls were grazing away in k9 and l9,i visited at the weekend and they were in much the same place to be honest,it seems that is their favourite area at the moment . x

    An eventful start to our walk, we watched the steam loco (black v 44932) pass under the bridge! Poor Rosie got the fright of her life & didn't like the noise at all.  Glad to say all the girls were not bothered at all considering how close they were to the railway.  All were in H6 grazing happily on this drizzly morning around 10:30am

    Pouring with rain, they were all close together tucked up under the hedge by the kissing gate near the trough, C15.  Looked fine but miserable.

    Sunday, 1 June 2014

    All in L9 at 9am this morning, heads down grazing. All looked fine.  Coincidence but they were almost in the same place yesterday at around 8:15am.
