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 15th February - All 4 seen - Cow 214 has a red patch at the top of her front right leg

    Cow 234 and steer 227 were happily munching on grass at 14:45 this afternoon.  It was really nice to see them dry for a change.  Both were looking really well.  Steer 227 soon stopped eating and wandered over to say hello and receive an ear rub.

    Cows 214 and 215 were standing together, relaxing and chewing their cud around ///encodes.golden.boss a short time later.  They, too, were both looking well.  Cow 214 had a red patch at the top of her front right leg.  I think she'd caught herself in the thicket, but had licked the area, making it look worse than it was.  She was fine and was walking without any issues.  Cow 215 was her usual friendly self and came and said hello.

    The cows were all good today.

    Friday 9th February - All 4 seen

    Despite the frequent rain showers, the cows were all busy grazing at 16:05 this afternoon.  They were all happy and relaxed.  I received a very warm welcome, with them stopping and coming over one by one to say hello.  Sadly, they were all very wet.

    Life on Camp 45 appears to be agreeing with them.  I thought they were all looking really well and appeared to be gaining condition.

    The cows were all good today.




    Friday 9th February

     

    All 4 seen laying down chilling out. Plenty of forage left and cows looked very happy.

    Sunday 4th February - All 4 seen - Additional afternoon check

    As I was passing Camp 45 on my way back from Long Valley at 14.30, I noticed the horses from the Drag Hunt were in the pasture around ///sheets.gems.prefer. The cows had moved to the north-west and were standing around the cattle grid near Bourley Road. They were all good but seemed happy to see me, with me receiving several moos as I arrived. 

    The hounds, horses and riders were all having a rest. They all left Camp 45 about fifteen minutes later, crossing over Bourley Road onto the MoD land to the north. 

    After they left, the cows got back to grazing. I stayed with them for a while just to ensure they were okay. As I was leaving the site, I walked through the pasture just to check nothing had been left behind.




    Sunday 4th February - All 4 seen

    The cows were all busy eating grass in the area around ///mopped.else.officials at 11.30 this morning. They were all happy and relaxed and looking well. Steer 227 wandered straight over to meet me and say hello. There was still the slightest pink trace on cow 234's right rear leg today, but she was absolutely fine.  
    After a while, the cows all wandered over to the large tree at ///tarred.eaten.facelift. They stood under it, while resting and chewing their cud. Cow 215 was happy to stand and receive a long back scratch while relaxing. I said goodbye to them at 12:15. 

    The cows were all good today.

    Friday 2nd February - All 4 seen - Cow 234 has a pink patch on her rear right leg

    The four British Whites from Caesar's Camp were busy grazing in Camp 45 at 16:05 this afternoon. They were all happy and relaxed and enjoying lots of grass. It appears that they had been exploring, as a few of them had burrs in their tails and on their sides and heads. Cow 215 and steer 227 were their usual friendly selves and came and said hello and stood and received ear rubs. 

    Cow 234 had a pink patch on her rear right leg. It wasn't causing her any issues and she was walking around fine. The cows were all good today. 

    They seem to have settled in well.
