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!

    All happily grazing in the grass adjacent to the train track in the top corner. Sorry about the strange Co ordinates but I can't seem to get the map up on my phone. X

    visited yesterday at 3pm

    All the girls were happily grazing around the gate near the trough.there poo seems a strange colour very light brown and very soft.
    Spread between H4 & H5 at 10:15am, one sitting the other two munching away wagging their tails. They all looked very calm and didn't move at all when we approached them. Looking good. Will they be staying through the winter?

    Beaten to it!

    We have dropped the girls back today after their TB test (all clear). They have been in the pen with a few other cattle which always gets a bit messy and a little stressful for them which will be causing the messy back ends. Also the field they have been grazing was very lush which will also contribute. If it does not clear up in a few days then let me know. Cheers,Jack

    Bit concerned

    On follow them up to the top corner it actually seems that they have had or got explosive diarrhoea. They are all covered in it back there. Is that as a result of them tb jabs. X
    Nice to see the back after there little holiday. X
