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!

Saturday 22nd October - 21 seen - still no 35, 213, 219 or 235

Getting very concerned I wasn't able to find Buzz, Ginge, Gilbert or Goldilocks again today. It's been over a week since I last saw them. Searched the site high and low for hours today and still couldn't find them. Hope they are ok.

Yearlings 238, 241, 244, 245 and 248 were all found around ///blotting.cares.cosmetic at 10:35 this morning. They were all busy munching on grass.

Youngsters 220 and 226 were grazing at ///womanly.fortnight.deprive. Cow 226 was soaking - she had dried out some when I ran into her again later in the afternoon. Youngsters 217, 221, 222, 228 and 230 were all grazing relatively close by.

Older cows 20, 21, 30, 33 and 940 were all found grazing in the area around ///verdict.burying.grub at 12:20. They were all spread out eating alone. Older cow 72 was found munching on a holly bush at ///transit.stance.umbrella.

Yearlings 247 and 257 were found hunting for acorns around ///calls.pizzeria.offerings at 15:05. Yearling 242 was stood chewing his cud, but soon joined in the fun. Searched for another hour, but couldn't find the missing four.

All the cows that were found were good today.
