Welcome to the Gelvert Catchment Area Lookers' Blog: Sunday 31st 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!

Sunday 31st March - All 26 seen

Happy Easter!

The cows were all gathered at the northern end of the main pasture, near the Bourley Road, at 12.25 this afternoon. They were all either relaxing and chewing their cud, lying down resting or happily grazing. Steers 20, 30, 217, 219 and 222 plus cows 940 and 1396 were all lying down resting. Several of the cows were very friendly and came and said hello. Steers 197 and 227 stood and received long head rubs, while cow 215 preferred a back rub.

After a while, the cows started to graze back towards the southeast corner. They were all enjoying lots of grass as they went. Steers 30, 217 and 219 got up just after 13:05 and quickly caught up with the rest of the herd. The cows were all happy and relaxed and looking well this afternoon.

The cows were all good today.
