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!

    Tuesday 16 September



     Lovely day, found them all in a clearing on canal side. They all looked calm.114 posed for her photo, she had a ‘blackish blister’ on the side her tail at the top. 216 and 225 happily munching heather and 108 was having a sit down, I couldn’t see any problems.

    Mon 15th - three seen

    Three girls grazing around the path at the north end of the site. 225 not seen, map looked like she could be close by deeper in the greenery but I couldn't get there. 

    216 having a lovely time hoovering up every acorn she could find! Also she's using the fence as a scratching post - still looks very solid but was wobbling a little bit.

    Thurs 11th - all good

    Went at lunch time today (just dodging downpours). 

    114 and 216 in the north east of the site (///emerald.replayed.rashers), right up by the fence line. Couldn't get to them from in the site, but could see them from the path alongside the stream/creek and both looking well. Map showed the other two to be nearby but must have been too hidden in the greenery for me to see.

    Friday 12th September

    Only viewed from afar today at W3W: bluff.gallons.ports but all there!

    2.00pm

    Wednesday, 10 September 2025

    Weds 10th - all good

    Quick visit this morning as pouring it down and couldn't find my waterproof trousers! 

    All four eating together around the trees in the middle of the space. 108 and 114 taking the more sensible approach of sheltering under the trees, other two out in the open. All seem fine and content despite the rain. 

    Monday, 8 September 2025

    Mon 8th - hiding but good

    All four behind the trees in the bottom right corner. 

    Could hear lots of stomping but couldn't see them, but found the little path down from the water and they were all down there. Everyone having breakfast together, all seemed content! 

    Friday, 5 September 2025

    Friday 5th September

    All 4 found at W3W: protrude.pink.taker

    All fine, chewing the cud. Greta (225) very vocal! Ginseng, (216) has no collar. Lots of annoying flies around them all.

    12.00 noon

    Friday 5th September - Staff Check + gate fixed

    Hi all, pedestrian gate now fixed and the middle field gate re-opened to allow the girls free range of both ends of the site. 

    I've put an invisible exclusion zone in around the pedestrian gate, I believe it was broken because they were scratching themselves on it! 

    Girls all well and good today. 

    Before and after of the gate below. Have a good weekend.

    All good

     After I made it over the gate, I am very out of practice at 5 bar gate jumping. All happy

    Wednesday, 3 September 2025

    Weds 3rd - soggy but good

    All four by the gate looking a bit soggy but fine. 

    114 had what looked to be a spot of blood on her left shoulder but no visible cut or wound. Tried to get a picture but the black and white one kept trying to mount her so couldn't get close - zoomed in pic below. 

    Otherwise all good! Black and white looked to be missing her left ear tag.

    Judith 

    Grey parrot

     Hi All

    Judith again, I have just done a circuit to get my bearings and met Jason who was looking for his grey parrot, It flew off last night. I said I would put it on our blog should anyone of you see him.

    I have let him know we will keep an eye out.

    His name is Jason 07785 518488.

    Tuesday 2 September

     Hello All

    First day as cow looker today and I am glad to say I found them quite quickly. All were looking fine, no scratches, nice and clean. Content. 108 was on her own and had wandered into the gorse. The rest were together in the heather, happily munching.

    Monday 1st September - COW UPDATE

    Hi all 

    One of the pedestrian gates near the stream has been vandalised (either by human or cow!) And is on the floor. 

    For the time being I have locked the cows in corral side (northern end of site) and padlocked the gate separating the two halves of the site whilst I arrange repairs. 

    I'll keep you updated 

    But the girls were all looking healthy and well today! 

    Kind Regards 

    Zoe 



    All good

     Under the trees looking very content.
