Welcome to the Gelvert Catchment Area Lookers' Blog: Saturday 23rd March

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!

Saturday 23rd March - All 26 seen

Twenty-one cows were all happily grazing in the warm sunshine at 10:15 this morning. They were all down at the Bourley Road end of the site, grazing on both sides of the centre ditch. They were all enjoying lots of grass.

Youngsters 217, 220, 222 and 230 plus yearling 270 were munching on leaves from the bramble in the centre of the site. Steer 217 met up with steer 227, and they had a big drink of water from a large puddle.

The cows were all happy and looking well. They slowly made their way southwest, back towards the wooded corner. Steer 227 was his usual friendly self and was happy to stand in the sun and receive an ear rub and then a back scratch before wandering off.

The cows were all good today.
