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!

    Saturday 8th

    Not blogged for so long but we have recently returned to the site and have always kept an eye on the cattle.  We walked over on Saturday with our 13 week old puppy and all 4 cattle were in L9 laying down together in the shade at 9:19.  All looked well.  Trough all ok too.




    Cattle checked

    All 4 cattle seen today looking really well.

    Looked at 12.00. Found all four strolling along path at H4. They ambled out of the trees (along by the railway line) crossed the path and started grazing on fresh grass in H5,I5. All looking quite relaxed and moving OK with no problems. Checked the trough, working OK - full to the brim. The cover for the stop-cock had been knocked off and was laying in the grass a couple of feet from the trough. Cleaned the stop-cock hole and replaced the cover but it is not actually fixed and is liable to be knocked off again by little hooves. Possibly needs turf built up around it to "hide" it from interference.

    Today at 3.20

    This is my third visit with no joy finding the cows, I know they are here because I've checked the blog but because of the green it's hard to find them. X

    The 3 boys lying together cudding overseen by a standing Lola in M8 at 0930 hrs.  All very well and contented, less for those pesky flies in eyes and nose.  Trough OK.

    All four animals were laying up in a dried out wet area. At end of main track parallel to railway. All look good if bothered by flies.

    All very fit and well grazing and walking westward in L13 at abut 0930 hrs this morning.  Lola was very friendly as I rubbed her ears

    All good but not seen 114 up
