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!

    Monday 17th of April - ALL COWS OFF

    Hi All, 

    We've taken off the four British Whites and taken them back to the farm in Hook. 

    The Grazing is looking really good at Pondtail so they've done a fantastic job, we've taken them for their annual TB test. 

    Thanks so much for keeping an eye on them, we will let you know when they are due back on. 

    Best Wishes 
    Grace

    All well, browsing bramble and they've made quite a clearance in that area. Looking thin but it won't be long now...
