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!

    The girls were all laying around expecting rain I imagine in the small bunch of trees in the top left corner of the open heath area. I Brought alone two bags of apples they had trouble at first trying to chew so I crushed them all with my feet and they hungrily devoured the lot. Is this ok.xx

      Hello Jo,

      Thanks for the blogs, however I am going to have to ask that you do not bring any food for the cattle and give it to them. Whilst I agree a diet of bramble, gorse and holly does not sound the nicest trio of veg, it is really important that the cattle are not over fed certain types of food in one go. In addition to this it can cause us behavioural problems with the cattle with them now possibly seeing other people and thinking they have apples in their bags.

      I know this sounds far fetched and over cautious but it really does happen this easily.

      Sorry to be a grump as we approach Christmas,

      Elliott
