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!

    Sunday 20th August - All 19 seen - fence good

    Steer 21 was spotted grazing in the thicket in the area around ///tilt.chiefs.passion at 10:15 this morning.  Although by himself, he was fine, moving around freely and munching away happily.

    A mixed group of twelve cows were all found in the area around ///detail.basics.closer at 10:35.  Youngster 230 was munching on leaves in the trees, with the others munching on grass in the sunshine.  The four British Whites soon lay down together, relaxing and chewing their cud.  Youngster 230 also lay down in the trees.  The others either stood and chewed their cud or continued to graze.  Cows 72, 222, and 940 wandered away from the others and started to eat leaves from the trees at the top of the steep hill down the side of the site.  The Beacon Hill Road fence was intact today.

    Steer 21 was still grazing away happily close to the spot he was originally found at 11:00.  

    Yearlings 270 and 271 were found by themselves around ///cars.sport.relieves at 11:10.  They were busy eating grass before crossing over and grazing on the longer grass at the side of the main path.  Again, a search of the surrounding area didn't find any other cows.  I reluctantly left them.

    The group of twelve cows had all descended the hill and were all standing in the trees around ///wider.brownish.sleeper at noon.   They had been joined by the missing steers 20, 35, 217 and 228.   Older steer 21 turned up at 12:10 and went straight under the cover of the trees.  The cows slowly started coming out of the trees and started grazing in the surrounding area, heading in an easterly direction, before I said goodbye to them at 12:40.

    The cows were all good today.  It was unusual for steer 21 to be grazing by himself.  And very odd that the two yearlings were found grazing by themselves.  I really hope they find their way back to the rest of the herd soon.
