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!

    wed 26th

    As with the previous post, all at the far end of the field at the canal end. All walking back towards the corral side.

    Wednesday 26 August

     All 3 had wandered to undergrowth canal side right at end of field. 114 standing for a while, udder still slightly swollen but she seemed ok. Then joined the other 2 who were lying down. Minimal flies.

    Monday 24th August - GT Fly Spray Visit

    Hi all, 

    I found 3 under the trees by the old coralle about as far North as they could be. 

    All good in good condition and were excited to see the nuts that come with me. All 3 have been treated for fly, so should keep them more comfortable. 

    Thanks for keeping an eye on them 

    Grazing Team

    All good

    Friday 21st August

     Found all 3 lying down at ///abacus.conga.refreshed  

    114's collar emitted a little tune which made her get up! Not sure what that means, (battery?), but that enabled me to see the enlarged teat mentioned before. Otherwise all fine and not so many flies now.

    The other 2 collars have just sung to me too!
