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 3rd May - All 17 seen - COWS ON CAMP 45 FOR THEIR TB TEST

The cows are all on Camp 45 for their annual TB test.  

Cows 21, 33, 217, 219, 220, 221, 226 and 228 were all lying down out in the open around ///lavished.button.factory at 12:30 this afternoon.  They were relaxing and enjoying the sunshine, but all had a lot of flies on their faces.

Cows 30, 222 and 230 were lying down behind the main group, under the shade of the trees and bushes.   Youngster 213 was having a good scratch on a tree branch before wandering out and lying down with the others.  

Older cows 20, 35, 72 and 940 plus youngster 235 were all standing in among the trees, chewing their cud.

The cows were all good today.
