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!

    Cows moved to corral section

    Cows moved across back to corral section for the next couple of weeks. Depending on how the grass flushes will depend on how long they stay. Keep an eye on the blog for updates.

    The cattle are being moved to the upper corral this afternoon.

    Monday 20 February

    I did see three from the canal path yesterday but nothing today, though I have just heard a moo from home! I found that they have made a path around the medical dump fence which gives access into their maze of tracks in that tall western gorse but its is tall and unless you choose a path that chance upon them you still wont see them. i think Mondays and Fridays are their duvet days and i cant find their current bedroom..

    Monday 13 February

    All well though looking leaner than when I last saw them...which was when they had the lick. I picked up 20+ drinks cans in the gorse...prickly place for a party!

    Saturday, 11 February 2023

     Saturday 11th Feb

    All 4 found near the usual SE Corner.  The gorse is getting so thick that they can be just a few metres away but invisible !  The growth of the gorse is driven by increasing carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide levels in the air - which is a shame as the heath is slowly vanishing.
