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!

    Thursday 3rd August - All 19 seen - fence good

    Cows 33, 72, 217, 220, 228, 270, 271 and 940 were all found grazing on the east bank of the smaller fishing lake at 16:20 this afternoon.  Most were happily munching on the fresh grass, with older cows 72 and 940 preferring to eat leaves.   They were quickly joined by older steers 20, 21, 30 and 35 plus British White 214 who all wandered down from the area around ///thus.spouse.shade.   They all started to graze, with steers 21 and 30 stopping to have a drink.

    The other three British Whites were found grazing among the trees and bushes around ///sway.dwell.roost at 16:45.  As I was checking them, I saw youngster 222 passing by, following the main path down to the lakes.  Steer 219 was found by himself grazing deep in the thicket around ///forklift.coder.wing soon after.  I suspect youngster 230 was somewhere close, but I couldn't see or hear him.  The four of them made their way down to the fishing lakes.

    The cows had made it to the bank of the larger fishing lake by 17.00.  After eating, most wandered into the trees around ///quail.ally.spud where they started to relax and chew their cud.  Cows 20 and 940 lay down.  The others stood on the bank, chewing their cud.  Youngster 230 decided to make an appearance at 17.10, wandering down the small hill between the two lakes, mooing loudly to announce his arrival.
      
    After checking the cows, I took a walk along the Beacon Hill Road fence line just to check everything was OK.  I didn't see any issues along its path, with the section at the pill box still fully intact.  I cannot believe how close Gypsy had actually been to the road, though.

    I wandered back and found the cows again, who were all in the area around ///lawns.feeds.sushi at 18:20.  Spent some nice relaxing time with them before saying goodbye.
     
    The cows were all good tonight.
