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 fine Wednesday

    All 3 grazing on heather out in the middle of the heath around late lunch time - all looked well.

    I left a lick for them and checked the trough which some kind person had already broken the ice for them.

    An easy find today.  All in H6 at 1000 hrs taking heather and small firs close to the remains of a fire.. All fit and well.

    Looked at 3.30 found all three grazing in C5. Clearing work has been going on here with remains of shrub clearance fire still smouldering. Cows quite relaxed grazing on heather and low gorse. Checked trough - thin ice removed otherwise working OK.

    At 0945 hrs all 3 were in K7.  The boys grazing dead-looking grass and Teasel taking heather.  All fit and well.  Looks like the NEWTS on a task in the area this morning too.

    Monday 14th

    On Monday afternoon I popped into site and dropped off a lick for the cows. 

    They were in the middle of the first block of heath and as I was driving up the track on the far side I saw them.

    I put the lick in a shallow depression off of the track somewhat to stop it moving around to much.

    All looked fine.

    All spotted accross the track in the heather from K10

    Dropped off lick in bracken just behind the 6 pine in K10.

    Clever Clogs appears the thinnest of the 3 and was the most audiable (as usual) 😉 All looking well aside from that, tis the time of year, we're all getting a lil thinner in Winter, right?

    Left them tucking into lick. Trough good.
