Welcome to the Bramshot Heath Lookers' Blog: January 2018

Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

Call the office on 01256 381190.
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.
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!

Wed 31st

Out on Bramshot all day today with NERT clearing scrub - the 4 came to inspect our work. All 4 looking well.

Found all 4 in L11 grazing in rough grass and young gorse. Noted the mark on Lola's neck which seemed to be dry. No problems - they all looked quite happy. Trough OK.

All 3 boys and Lola in the middle among the gorse around K9

All looking well. The boys are catching up with Lola! Thought she looked smaller, but think it might be the boys looking bigger! Regardless, all doing well.

Clevor Clogs being all confident and brash in complete contrast to Cantor who's a bit of a wuss haha!Lola has her hands full.

All in I10 at about 1145 hrs. The young lads all OK but Lola seemingly has no ear tags at all and has a one-inch but superficial cut on left side of her neck on a slight lump there.

Found all four standing together in G5 quietly chewing cudd. They looked a bit sorrowful but no obvious problems. We had very high winds and heavy rain yesterday so they are just recovering.
Trough full and working OK.

All shwlterig in the small copse M5 / N5.

Gave them some cattle nuts and had a good look at them. Theyre all doing very well and in great condition for this time of year.
