Welcome to the Gelvert Catchment Area Lookers' Blog: Monday 4th November

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!

Monday 4th November - All 25 seen

The cows were resting and chewing their cud in the eastern pasture near the Bourley Road at 10:10 this morning. Cow 940 was lying down, relaxing. They knew something was going on with the presence of the HIWWT vehicles, but all remained calm, mooing occasionally. The herd is scheduled to receive the first part of their TB test this afternoon.

The cows were all very friendly and seemed happy to see a familiar face. Steer 227 enjoyed a long neck rub. Shortly after 10:30, the cows all set off together to the trees in the southeast corner of the site.

The cows were all good this morning.
