Welcome to the Gelvert Catchment Area Lookers' Blog: Wednesday 2nd November

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!

Wednesday 2nd November - All 17 seen

Looks like Harry found them before me today.

A mixed group of twelve were all sheltering from a rain shower in the trees around ///tinted.plans.dictation at 10:55 this morning. Cows 30, 221, 222, 226, 230 and 235 were lying down resting. Cows 72, 217, 219, 235 and 940 were standing chewing their cud. Cow 213 was grazing. After the rain stopped, they slowly one by one, led by cow 213, ventured out and started heading around to the trees where they were found on Saturday, grazing as they went. They all seem to have found an appetite for gorse.

Cows 20, 21 and 35 were stood chewing their cud under the trees around ///frock.eruptions.torso a while later. Cow 33 was lying down amongst them, chewing his cud. Youngster 228 was buried in a gorse bush, happily munching away.

The cows were all good today.
