Welcome to the Pondtail Lookers' Blog: Tuesday 29th July

Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

Call the office on 01256 381190.
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.
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!

Tuesday 29th July - Staff Check

All girls busily grazing in canal side this afternoon.

They've dropped a little condition since I last saw them but nothing to worry about.

There is plenty of forage here for them.

225 and 108 were alternating between smacking each other with their heads, grooming and trying to mount one another

This is typical behaviour, either one or both of them are in oestrus. It can get quite aggressive so please be aware of that when checking and keep a safe distance.

Stream levels are a little higher now which is good.

Cheers, Zoe
