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 in F12 eating brambles then moving down the path towards the trough. All look very content and fit and well.

    18th March -

     Unzips. Newer. Smiling F5


    Found all three close to the car park by the railway line. The excitement of new gates being fitted had drawn them up from their usual foraging spots and they were moving towards the workmen.


    75 has some ticks on his front right leg but didn't show much concern for them (hadn't licked the area)



    Evans' cut looks like it has healed and has licked the area. No other issues to report.

    Monday 15th March

     All lying down in the ferns chewing the cud in L11. Obviously difficult to check legs/under body but what I could see looked fine. 

    Whisked some thin branches out of the trough, other than that all good.

    Sunday drop by

    I got called by a concerned walker about the cows being excitable. I've just watched them for ten minutes and they seem calm and quiet. It's possible that they thought they were getting fed by someone!

    Sunday

     Met initially by 2 concerned  women with their  dogs who reported the cows were running and seemed agitated. Found the cows in D7. Tag 75 (who I have down still as Cronus) was very vocal at something (not seen by me) in the open field beyond the fence but all 3 were fine and calm/approachable. 75 has a tick at the top of his  right front leg.

    11th March

     Thruster. Kicks. Dame (K12)


    All three foraging near the trough among the leaves. Generally all in good shape and happy to be approached.


    Evan (160) has a scratch on his front Left, which I think has been noted before, but it did seem to be fresh blood (see image below). 


    He didn't seem too fussed by it.
