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!

    Tuesday

     Found all 3 cattle at 11.30, spread out near the lick in J12/K12. Teasle having a good lick at the lick.

    Noted she has a black mark on her neck, possibly from the sore she had a few months ago, which looked to be weeping.  Needs to be watched. The other two were moving through the gorse and grazing with no problems.

    Trough OK

    Teasle at the lick, note the mark on her neck

    Wednesday 13th

    We walked the Pyestock fence around 7:45 to find the fence had been cut leaving a hole of approx 6ft high x 3ft wide with another make shift fence damaged too.

    Further down to where the big tree came down there are also lots of big branches that have been put up so someone has tried to get over the fence there as well.  I called Graham around 8am and left a msg. I also called the Army MOD OPs room to report it. While I was still there I saw a couple of what looked like security guys over the other side and called them over. They were going to sort the fence out so there should be no risk to the cows. 

    Talking about Cows, I could only find 2 this morning in the woods just up from the trough but couldn’t find the other one anywhere! Trough and gate ok

    Tuesday, 12 January 2021

    At midday they were still near the trough.

    Tuesday 12th

    All 3 were close to the gate by the trough again at 8am, a little wet but ok, waiting for an opportunity to get through the gate if I didn’t know better lol. Was funny to see One of the boys sneeze too, made my little JRT jump out of his skin! Trough & gate on too.

    Thursday 7th Jan

    Location: Uppermost.furniture.firepower (G13) - 12:20


    Found all three on the move from G13 into H13/I12. All three look well, though I did notice that Teasel (88) has a slight limp on her hind leg. I saw this was noted below as well. 

    Bar that they all looked in fine health. Evan is being as boisterous as ever, he even gave me a friendly headbutt.

    gate looks ok. 


    Video is Teasel having a good head scratch

    Wednesday

    Trough and gate OK

    Tuesday 5th

    Started early morning walk in the dark but they were easy to spot at 7:45 walking along the inside fence path from H9, 10, 11, 12 and so on heading towards the trough side. They were looking good but Teasel looked like she had a little limp so we continued our walk and headed back to check on them again on our way back to the car. They were then in F15 at 8:30 heads down munching away. She seemed better but did lift her back right leg while I watched her for a few minutes. Maybe we just need to keep an eye on her, it might just be where she’s got up in the cold this morning.

    Monday 4th all found

     Had a quick check through and they were all close by the trough. They all look happy. 

    Mon 4th

    Nearly gave up! On final leg of our walk at 8:30am and there they were all 3 together just up from the trough trying to find what they could to munch on. All looking good. Trough ok and so is the gate holding out.
