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!

     All lying near the trough. A few flies about but they were not bothering them. All fit and well. Trough OK.

    Wed 27th July @ 05:30

    Sorry, it’s not my designated day but I was over there at 5:30 this morning when we found them all opposite the trough, just getting up the looks of it. All looking ok. One did have a slobbery mouth, not really notice that before but I couldn’t see clearly who it was but the tag. Trough all ok too.

    They are obviously using the area by the trough regularly as the mess is horrendous, any chance someone can clear some of it up? I’ve had a couple of regulars mention that wherever you walk you can’t avoid it 🤦‍♀️

    No finds today. Trough full and surrounding area covered in cow dung so they've clearly been making the most of it in the heat!

    Wednesday 20th July

     All 4 found just off the track leading from the big white gate to the trough. Very vocal as usual and their coats are looking extremely clean and white for some reason. Probably no rain to get them muddy. 088s coat is looking like a well groomed thoroughbred race horse #shiny 

    Trough all good

    Tuesday 14th July - All four sprayed for fly

    All 4 found near trough (seems to be their favourite hang out spot now it's hot, I don't blame them). 

    I've sprayed all 4 for fly so they should be more comfortable now. 

    Thank you for looking in this heat!

     Found the original 3 in and around the gorse near the entrance. All OK. No sign of the new boy (175) unless he was deep in the gorse like Teasel.

    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  ...
