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!

    Monday 8th May - All 13 seen - cows all being bothered by flies

    Youngsters 219 and 228 were standing on the path around ///nearly.hotdog.unfit at 13:50 this afternoon.  Sadly, their faces were covered in flies despite their best efforts to get rid of them.  The other eleven were all hiding amongst the trees.  They all slowly started to lie down and chew their cud except cows 35 and 940 who remained standing.

    By 14:15 youngsters 219 and 228 had lay down around ///duck.boomer.refills and were joined by older cows 21 and 33 who wandered out from the trees to lie down near them.

    Fully appreciate that flies are part of a cow's life, but there were lots of them around again today and the cows were very uncomfortable.  Are they due to be sprayed soon?  Other than that, the cows were all good today.

    1. Hi Gordon,

      Thank you for blogging these past few days.
      They were due to be done during the TB tests and reads but poor weather means we can't spray until we get a good window. I've reminded grazing team again though.
      Thank you
