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!

    Found all four in N5, grazing on gorse. All looking healthy. No sign of the cut on Lola's neck, must have healed OK. Took ice off the trough and noted water was flowing OK, full to the top.

    Josh just had a good look at Lola and its as if the wound was never there. Awkward..

    Bit of luck, no more problem. But if there is another bleed in the same area, we now know it'll more than likely be ok and sort itself out.

    Had a good look over Lola's neck by sticking her head in a bucket if nuts..

    The only way i was getting close  enough this morning was bribery. Closer inspection revealed a lump as reported earlier. The wound must have opened up again but was no longer bleeding by the time i got there. Sent pics and description to the grazing team who have concluded the following:

    Caught / burst abcess from TB check (thus the lump). No concern if bleeding has stopoed. Please monitor for further bleeding. 

    Lola doesn't appear bothered in the slightest. 

    Thanks all. 

    Neck injury reported on heifer at Bramshot

    Just to let you all know that we have just had a report come in of an injury on the neck of one of the animals at Bramshot (looker reported that it was the heifer, but she could not see any ear tags).

    A mark has been noted on her neck in the past few days, so it is possible that she has just knocked the scab off, causing a fresh run of blood.

    We will be checking on her this morning and will follow up with the grazing team if required.

    Thanks
