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!

    Sunday 3rd May - All 4 seen

    At 14:00 this afternoon, the cattle were grazing in the thicket just off the main path, around 130 metres southeast of the Test Track gate, near ///delusions.tunnel.lousy. They were enjoying a mix of long grass, gorse, and fresh silver birch leaves. After a short while, they drifted north into a more open area, where they stood to relax and chew their cud. Steer 207 soon lay down to rest.

    The other three were more curious and slowly stepped around steer 207, making their way towards where I was standing. They initially kept their distance before cautiously stepping forward, one by one, to stand fairly close and chew their cud. I sat down on a patch of grass, and they gradually began to relax fully. After a while, all three settled down to rest.

    I said my goodbyes at 14:50, leaving them all resting peacefully. They were happy, relaxed, and looking well.

    Before leaving, I took a walk to check the water levels in the ditch, and there was still plenty of drinking water available. There was no sign that they had used the pasture pumps, though.

    The cows were all good today.
