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 at 17.10,

    After having only found one cow for a while I finally found the other 2,they are fairly spread out amongst the heath field munching on Heather and horse flower. The smell of coconut from the horse flower is stunning tonight.  All's calm and looking good x

    All fine Monday 25th afternoon

    I checked them on the 25th late afternoon and dropped them off a lick. I checked the water trough and that was all good as well.

    At 0900 hrs all right by the main gate in D4.  Odd place as nothing to eat there. All OK, though Cronus has a slight bloody mark just behind his left fore leg on his belly.  Minor graze or a tick I think.

    I went over there at 8 for a couple of hours...All 3 were together in h6 looking ok. I walked around and checked all gates and fences, all appears ok but I do believe some of the gates could benefit from springs put on them again and perhaps some big signs to say ‘PLEASE close the gate behind you’....

    Cow gone on an adventure

    I saw a Facebook post this morning at approx 7:20 saying that a cow had got on the wrong side of the fence (gate left open), just down the path from the main car park, one with a handle and catch apparently the gate was wide open!
    At approx 7:30 the cow was safely back where it should have been with the help of a couple of dog walkers.
    I believe David is also now aware of this...

    Today at 3pm

    All having a lay down and some were actually sleeping in the centre of the heath field, all very calm

    Wednesday, 20 March 2019

    All still hanging aroundG6 so i stuck another lick out there among the bracken.

    All looking very well and very excited to see me. They certainly started tucking into that lick with gusto!

    Very good feedback on the herd via many a walker and dog walker today. Alas, no potential lookers yet.

    Checked at 10.00. Found cows laying peacefully in the heather at I12, chewing cud and looking quite happy. No sign of any problems. Trough OK as well.

    About 14:00 the three on Bramshot were round by the car park in the woods.  Typically I didnt check here first.

    Gave them some nuts and a lick.

    All looked fine.

    Today at 6pm

    All four spread out around the left side of the heath field,as I'm writing this 3 off them have come right up to me to sniff me,i think they have missed me. They look so big and wooly and healthy,often after a long winter the cows are skinny ,these guys look amazing. They a&e now back munching away on horse flowers a grass.

    At 1445 hrs all lying very contentedly on a patch of bracken  - almost on top of one another - surrounded by gorse in K7.  They look very well indeed.

    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  ...
