Welcome to the Gelvert Catchment Area Lookers' Blog

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!

Wednesday 13th October

All cattle found laying up or grazing along the Bourley road, near the fisherman's entrance.

220 has some blood on his front right hoof but not a lot.

219 had chipped the outer layer of his horns, not sure if that will cause an issue or not.

Monday 11th October - All 17 seen

All seventeen cows were sat down, huddled together, in the area around ///redouble.wildfires.relax at 15:30 this afternoon. They were all relaxing and chewing the cud. All the cows were fine.

None seen this morning, bit disappointing. We walked around the lakes and up the hill to where we have seen them in the past but no sign. They were not near the Bourley Road either. Stay Safe, Marina & Des
