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!

    Today 18.50

    Found lola she's getting some me time hiding in the gorse some way away from the others x

    25/9 at 18.30

    Three boys present and correct near the porta loo central heath field. I can't see lola anywhere tho. All seems well, although the other day one of the boys was walking along the path that runs around the green field, baying and mooing in distress. It seemed strange because the other three were only thro the trees x

    Monday afternoon

    Took me a little while to find them but eventually i spotted them in some thick scrub not that far from the car park.

    A shake of a bucket of cattle nuts got them out and they all seem very well.

    Gave them few nuts was a reward for coming.

    All good.

    Looked yesterday at 3.30 - no sign of cows!! Checked trough - working OK. Cows were probably laying down in the bracken. Walked most of the site but could not see them.

    All fine this afternoon.

    Found all four amongst the Birch scrub around the G6 area this afternoon. All looking on fine form.

    Trough full and working ok.

    All spotted in M12 at 15.00

    Not far from Martins sighting. Had a good look at them all. Steer 071 has those funny red, fleshy growths on the corners of both eyes. Flies loving them. I have seen these before among the other herds and are of no real concern. He's also the only one with one ticks on his hocks bless'im.




    Other than that, others to tickless and no other issues to report. Trough on.

    13:30 All 4 lying down in the sun.

    Lying as a group, with an occasional flick of the head to ward off the flies, the cattle looked fairly contented in M14, screened by bracken and gorse from the numerous dog walkers and their pets.

    Today at 8.30pm

    Altho a little dark could see all the cows standing very still spread out in the area just in front of the far gate from the car park. They were approachable and happy 😊

    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  ...
