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!

Update - Cattle still at Pondtail

Just a quick update that the cattle are still at Pondtail as we have moved them to the canal part of the site. When the forage gets lower we may move them back to Bramshot but will post an update when we have more info.

Thanks

Cattle still at Pondtail

Thanks for the query regarding the cattle. The 3 British Whites are still at Pondtail and are due to stay there for a while longer as there's loads of grass there given the wet summer and the wet heath habitat there.

We will post an update when they're due to be returning to Bramshot.

Many thanks

Morning all, it’s been a while now with no updates….

What is happening with the cows? Are they going to return to Bramshot and if so, when?

I’m even being asked by dog walkers where they are and when will they be back!

Bramshot info

Hi guys, I have spoken to the guy in charge of managing Bramshot and he says that the cattle have been moved due to bracken spraying and will be offsite for at least a month. Pondtail hasn't been grazed since October and Bramshot hasn't had a rest from grazing for a long time, so the forage should be nice and lush for the cows to enjoy!

If anyone wishes to contribute to checking the herd while they are on Pondtail, please drop me a line and I can pop you onto the Pondtail blog. We currently have cover for Mondays and our Pondtail looker Helen is happy to check them regularly every other week when she is not on her boat, so let me know and we'll organise a rota.

Thank you all for your time and effort in looking after our lovely Bramshot trio 😊

Tuesday

Teasel came bouncing over as usual. Her and Caledonia look well, other than flies. As already mentioned, Evan has weeping eyes.

I looked at the trough and it's OK for now, let us know if it gets worse!

Teasel says hi!
