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!

    All look good and grazing happily. Three in middle of first field not far from the gate one 231 over by the fence on the left hand side of the gate. Couldn’t see any cuts and eyes nice and clear. 
    The main gate into the field feels a little less secure, maybe the rope is just getting looser?

    Cattle moved to corral section of the site

    Hi all, I’ve moved the cows across to the corral section of the site. They were very excited for the move to new green(ish) pastures. 

    I’ve also fixed both gates either end of the ride between the path near the estate and the ford so they shut and latch properly now. I did a full fence check but if you could have a glance at the fencing you wonder by when out lookering to make sure they aren’t trying their luck anywhere that would be great. 

    Thanks all,
    Alex
