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!

    Monday 8th March


    Found around E15 at 10.30am. Teasel and Evan foraging in the leaf litter, Caledonia munching holly. 

    Surprised to find the trough, (and dog bowl!), iced over so broke up the surface. All 3 heading towards it as I left.

    Monday

    Popped in with a mineral lick and had a look over them. A couple of ticks on Teasel, but otherwise fine.

    Sunday

     The boys in I13 taking heather with Teasel in F14 being fed ivy by a couple. All fit and well.

    Friday 5th

     Found all 3 cattle in I14 at 3.30, rummaging in the trees and leaf mould for whatever they could find (mouldy acorns?). The two boys were a bit frisky and appeared to be butting each other, head to head. All three moving OK and showing no problems.

    Trough and gate working OK

    Tuesday 2nd March

     Found all 3 together just before the trough at 07:15am and they were just getting up by the looks of it lol. We watched to make sure they were moving about ok and all looked good. I didn’t know about Evan’s ear until logging on just now but I didn’t notice it so can’t be that bad. I will keep a look throughout the week though. He’s a right one, always getting into trouble lol. Trough and gate both ok too.

     Monday 1st March

    Found near the trough around 10.30am. Didn't notice Evan's scratch, so may have been after this? (Didn't blog until after lunch). 

    I easily found Teasel first but she was on her own. She started walking down the track alongside the fence so I followed her in the hope that we'd come across the other 2. She mooed when she saw them on the opposite track and all 3 started walking back to the trough!

    Are there now 2 of us looking on a Monday? Might be good to co-ordinate times if this is the case, or maybe change days?

    Monday 1st March

     Evan has, by the looks of it, had his head through a barbed fence and caught it just behind his ear. Doesn't look all too bad and the bleeding has stopped. Something to monitor. 

    Otherwise Caledonia and Teasel look well. All found milling near the trough and desperately rooting for the last acorns. 

    Lick dropped off. 


    All good but not seen 114 up

     Two of them up and munching today, still haven’t seen 114 on her feet. She was repeatedly licking her front left leg and no amount of gentl...
