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!

    They are all standing very near the gate near the big woods staring at the lush grass in the field. I'm sorry but I am worried they are hungry. What can I bring here for them. X

    1. Hi Joanna,

      Thank you for your concern regarding the cattle’s well being; it’s good to know you are out there! : ) But please don’t be worried. At this time of year all of our cattle on all of our sites will be changing their diets to woodier vegetation such as bramble, heather, and gorse, and in doing so they are doing a fantastic job of keeping scrub in check! All very normal, very natural. Get fat in the summer, leaner in the winter. We keep a watchful eye on their condition which is of course reinforced by your good selves. Mineral blocks ‘licks’ are sent out to supplement those sites where the cattle are a getting a little thin. In Bramshot’s case, the girls are fat with plenty of ground / forage. So again, please don’t be concerned at this time of year.

      Thank you Joanne : ) And Merry Christmas!
