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!

    frightened running cattle

    I have had a report that on Monday lunchtime at just after 12noon the cattle were running fast through the site and into the wooded area near the car park. They went into a path in the woods and continued running. Fortunately the chap that reported it was able to get out of the way and has walked past the cattle every other day before this without incident. Of note is that also we had another report that on Monday an out of control white dog at Pondtail, chasing and lunging at the cattle (just down the path past Fleet Pond). This was at 12.30. Although I can not be sure it is possible that the same dog chased the girls at Bramshot Heath on the way through and that is why they were running. We checked the cattle as soon as we were notified yesteday and they were all calm and ok. If you see any dogs chasing the cattle or the cows behaving erratically please give them a wide berth and let one of the team know. Details of dogs/owners is also useful to us, if you feel their behaviour is inappropriate. Thanks Laura
