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!

    Water

     Hi Chris sorry I don’t seem to be able to reply to your post. The area that I saw the cows in yesterday had some puddles with broken ice/access to water. They were eating grass and gorse that had snow.ice on it so I am hoping they get some water from that

    Will try and get to the trough.

    Jacky

    IMPORTANT - please check trough in freezing weather

    Thursday update. 

    Trough has been cleared of ice and is running. Please make sure to check clear access to water in freezing weather. I checked the flooded area near the lake but it was frozen solid and I couldn't find any evidence that the cows have been drinking from it. If you do, please post a picture and location if possible but please don't assume. 

    If anyone is unsure, the trough can be found in the woods in the southwestern corner of the site near the A327, section C10 on the site map. It is well hidden so you may need to search around under the trees.

    I've left a stick in the trough (pictured) to aid in breaking up the ice. Hoping for warmer weather over the weekend!
