Welcome to the Bramshot Heath Lookers' Blog

Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

Call the office on 01256 381190.
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.
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!

Team Away day - off to the vets

Came onto the Heath to see three cows charging past me. Pretty impressive sight !

They were all herded off to the vets so couldn't check them.

27th July

All 3 seen and taken off for a tb test (and blood sample).

They all look well and Tweasels patches seem to be scabbed over.

We will be back on Thursday for the vet to read the jabs.

Fingers crossed

Thanks

Wednesday 22nd July

All cattle found on L9. Few bumps of Teasel and skin condition noted. 67 very grumpy today. Trough good.

All ok.

Apologies for the late blog post.

I checked in on the cattle on Monday evening and they're all doing well. Teasel does have quite a few sore patches on her neck but only one of them was getting fly attention while I was there.

I've spoken to the grazing team about her and they will head over there at some stage to spray the sores with some antiseptic treatment which will also keep the flies off. The spray is blue so don't be alarmed if you check on the cattle one day and find that Teasel has a blue neck!
