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!

    Checked today at 2.30. Found all four in the trees at E15. They were being "worried" by a dog which barked and ran around them.  The three boys started to run away but Lola moved in and chased the dog off. Good mum! Watched them for 10 minutes and they settled down and ended up grazing on the grass along the path at F14. The dog owner rescued the dog and put it on a lead. I explained that there were new young bullocks in the group and was assured that the dog would be on lead in future.
    Checked trough - all OK

    2. Seconded. Well done on this John, and do let me know if you have problems with this person and dogs again. Make sure you take down the following details of any incident you note e.g.

      Time
      Date
      description of owner and animal/s
      Incident

      It's all good intel and evidence when taking action to the next step should we ever need to. Patterns in dog walking are key to catching them.

      Thanks again.

    3. Just a mute point really but a point I must make nonetheless.

      the boys are not in fact Bullocks, but are classified as steers. This means they have been castrated. Whilst this appears to be splitting hairs it is important as to have bullocks on a site such as this would not be suitable due to the testosterone build up in them and the implications this could have on their behaviour. As they have been castrated their hormone levels have been temepered which leads them to be safer more predictable animals, so suitable for this site,
