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!

    Weds 20th - all good

    All 4 grazing around the middle gate. Initially only 2 showing up on No Fence before I left the house, but 3 appeared on the map by the time I got there so I presume it was just loading? 

    225 was giving 216's ears a lot of licking - not sure what that means! Looked quite affectionate but then 225 chased 216 away, so maybe not. I left after that! Otherwise all seem happy and barely any flies compared to last week.

    Tuesday 19th August - Staff Check

    Sean and I came down this morning to try and reinstate Gingsengs colllar. Unfortunately she was having none of it even with copious nuts. Neither of us could get near her with the collar or even without it. 
    The group were a bit wound up and rowdy so we decided to call it. 

    Will probably have to wait until the batteries need replacing on all before we get the collar back on her. 

    Apologies, thanks all for your lookering efforts

    Missing collar

     All good except that 216 (the white one with black ears) has dropped her collar

    Saturday 16th - Staff Call Out

    Attended the site on Saturday morning after Dalia's collar was stating she wasn't moving. Turns out she had slipped her collar. Me and Micheal then found her and brought her back to the group. 

    With some gentle persuasion I was able to put the collar back on her. All four cows were good, no issues to report.

    All good

     I haven’t seen these guys stood up for ages, think that says more about me, and when I visit then them 

    Thursday 7th - Staff Check + new looker

    All four girls lying down resting today in Canal side. All well despite a renewal of biblical numbers of flies.

    Just to note that I am inducting a new prospective looker on Monday afternoon so will be up then. Hopefully they will be covering Tuesdays 🙂
