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!

    30th july

    All 3 ok. Some bumps on 2088 front right leg worth watching but most likely just bites or being pricked on something.

    Saw all three at 3.00 in E15, just standing and chewing cud, sheltering in the shade under the trees. They appeared to have just left the trough as it was low but water was filling up OK.
    In L9/10 at 1015 hrs taking heather and birch scrub from under the bracken.  All fit and well.  I took a mouthful of abuse from a dog owner who was not picking up her dog's poo.  She was not for listening to the problems it can cause for the cattle!

    Tuesday 23rd July.

    Found all three in H5 this afternoon. All on fine form and looking well.

    Trough full and working ok.

    Looked this afternoon at 2.30. Found all three laying in the long grass in M4 chewing cud. Looking quite relaxed in the higher temperature of 25 degrees. Checked trough all OK.

    All looking well

    They were a tough find today in the heat grazing well into the woods. All looked well and trough fine.

    Found easily at 0930 hrs lying cudding by the main track in M9.   All fit and well.

    At 0930 hrs all 3 lying contentedly cudding in usual spot (K/L12).  Teasel's lumps still visible but no problem.  Clever Clogs and Cronus both fine.  Trough OK.  Pedestrian gate parallel to railway has lost its handle that allows horse riders to open it. It is on top of nearby fence. Gate still secure, however.

    Checked this afternoon - 13.00 hrs. Found all three just leaving the trough and moving along the foootpath. They look fit and healthy - no obvious problems. Checked trough - water level down about three inches, cows had obviously had a drink. Water system working OK and trough was filling up.

    Late post

    Cycled thorugh yesterday but spotted nothing

    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  ...
