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!

    Saw them a 4.30 - they had moved from the trough and were grazing around bushes in H7. Quite difficult to see from a distance with bracken and bushes about 5ft high. They really are getting spoilt - 3 visits in one day.

    Atillbaround thw trough...

    Just popped in to see the girls and they haven't moved since Mike found them a little while ago. They're all snoozing around the trough and looking as relaxed and spotless as usual!

    All found - all looking well, hanging around by the trough.

    Found them by the trough today, all 3 looking well, munching and drinking. They were well hidden yesterday but easily found today. Mike.

    Could not find them 12:30pm

    First time ever I could not find them. I was jogging and went around whole of Heath I usually can find their hiding places but not today. Maybe they are over by fences near railway or elsewhere off main tracks, will try again tomorrow. Trough is ok.

    Easily spotted in L5 at 1345hrs today.  All fit and well.  Rosemary skillfully browsing bunches of blackberries as well as grazing the longer grasses in this wetter area.

    seen today at 5pm

    All three happily grazing amongst the heath field near the fallen pine. Flies look annoying but still got greeted by two of them.x

    Friday, 26 August 2016

    visited today at 8pm

    The girls are looking fantastic this evening, they are barely looking up from their mammoth grass munch in the middle  of the heath field. They really look in fine form.x

    Sprayed with fly repellent

    They've hd a busy day for lookers today haha. I sprayed them with fly repellent today.
    Looked at 7.00pm. Still grazing around J8. No problems as Mike says.

    Wed 6pm - all ok

    All looking ok spread out around J8, all seem happy enough munching on some gorse. No problems seen on the two I could get close too. Mike.

    Monday, 22 August 2016

    At 1200 hrs all fit and very well, if a bit bothered by flies, in J5

    Wednesday, 17 August 2016

    All ok today at Wed 12:30pm

    Back from holiday for me and catching up on some "looking"... saw all 3 looking ok, perhaps a little hot and bothered in M3 (eastern side, on heath nearest railway). Flies around the eyes and udders of all three horrible right now, but I saw no specific eye problems or any other issues. They were stood in the sun, if they have any sense they'll head towards the trees for shade.

    Tuesday, 16 August 2016

    looked today at 2.30 pm (cannot do tomorrow as normal) found them in G5. Grazing around the trees. All looked fit and healthy but covered in flies.

    gave up at 7pm

    First time I haven't found them for ages. Troughs all full up, loads of dead mozy lavish and no water boat men in there?

    Monday, 15 August 2016

    At 1800 hrs today the ladies were on the main track in L4 looking fit and almost in show condition.

    Could not find them! 3.00 pm. Walked the boundary of the site. Drinking trough OK and signs that they had been there recently. Braken is now over 4ft high and easily hides a cow laying down. Pleasant walk, bit tiring. Hope they show up tomorrow.

    seen today at 4.15pm

    All three happily mowing the grass near the main gate.all seems fine. X

    Monday 8th August

    Found the three cows laying down in G6 this afternoon. All of them were trying to have a snooze in between bouts of shaking flies off. All looking good and Rosemary's scar seems to be fine now.

    Today at 3pm

    All three standing in the shade near the water trough, the flies were unbelievable, felt so sorry for them,the seemed agitated for sure. X

    Friday, 5 August 2016

    All 3 well - if a bit bothered by flies - in L10 at 1215 hrs today.  Rosemary is fine; no problems with her scar seen. That gate - reported before - was not fastened again.  There is nothing wrong with the gate or its gate furniture, rather folk just do not ensure it is slammed to get the bolt into the latch. However, if unlatched it still rests against the slamming post, so is not too much of a concern.

    Checked this morning 10.00 am. Found all three lying down and chewing cud near path in L9. Rosemary's scar looked dry and there were no flies on it. Plenty of flies around their eyes and noses though. They all seemed quite contented, were not bothered by two yapping dogs that ran around them. Checked trough which was full and working OK.

    Monday, 1 August 2016

    Today at 3.50pm

    All three standing resting under the rowan opposite the water trough .all very calm and happy. X

    Monday 1st August

    Checked in on the three girls today and found them just along the track from where the timber stack was.

    Checked on Rosie's scar and it wasn't bleeding today but I can see where it had been bleeding previously. It looks like she has knocked a bit of scar tissue off. It looks ok today but definitely something to keep an eye on while there are lots of flies around.

    Other than that, all well and trough working ok.

    Tuesday 13th August - All Cows Off Site

    Hi All,  We've moved the 3 cattle down the track to Pondtail now.  Thanks again for all your help keeping an eye on them.  Best wishes  ...
