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!

    Looked today at 3.0pm. No sun today, a bit bleak, overcast and cold. Found all four around E14 heading down the path to the trough. Clever Cloggs was lagging well behind and Lola stood bellowing at him to hurry. Noticed she waited, watching, till the boys had finished drinking before taking the water herself. Really playing the matriarch. All moving OK no sign of any problems.

    All out sunning themselves

    13:35  N4.  The  group were at the Northern edge of N4, the younsters grazing amongst the gorse, whilst Lola was lying down.  Quite a sheltered spot, so they're topping up they're tan before the cold weather on Thursday.

    Very happy herd, led by the matriarch that is Lola!

    They're all in very good condition. It' s funny to see Lola bossing the boys about bless'em. She certainly wears the trousers in this family.



    Gave  them a handful of nuts. No licks needed here for a bit I Rekon.

    12:50 14 November

    All 4 looking OK, straddling track from road leading to water trough (K15).  Lola just settling down in woods, followed by one of the youngsters.  Met a couple of dog walkers by cattle grid, warned them the cattle were ahead.

    Site check - all good.

    Found all four on the main track leading down from the barrier nearest Hartland Park. All looking very well with no problems to report.

    Trough working fine.
    Looked at 3.00 pm. Found cows in I14 grazing on last of the fresh grass. The boys seem to have grown a lot and are almost as big as Lola. All looked clean and healthy, no obvious problems. Checked trough - working OK.

    Took my delayed walk this afternoon at 3.30, found the cows in the trees in H11, H12. They looked to have come from the trough and were moving through the trees grazing on the gorse.
    Checked trough all seemed to be working OK.
