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 23 December

     Found 3 cows together, all content. Delia was deep in the gorse and I could only see her legs, she mooed.


    Just want to send seasonal greetings to the cows, the lookers, Zoe and her team and all the humans and dogs I meet.

    Friday 12th December - Staff Call Out/114 Dyers Weed

    Hi all,

    Responded to a call this afternoon of a tree down on fence and blood on a cow. 

    Tree chainsawed off fence and stapled back up. 
    114 Dyers Weed was bleeding on her right hip, with a small gouge wound. 
    Sprayed with green spray. 
    Otherwise well in herself. 
    All other cows good. 
    Please keep an eye on her wound. 

    Also several signs on gates vandalised, I replaced a couple with the stock I had in truck but would be grateful if you could blog if any others are damaged. 

    Have a good weekend 

    Friday 12th December

    Unable to locate the ladies today. The No Fence placed them deep in the gorse but lots of the area is virtually impassible - to me at any rate!

    Noticed that only 3 are showing up on No Fence so maybe 1 has slipped a collar?

    Trough clear.

    11.00am

    All good

     All four happy munching in the drizzle
