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!

    Saturday 30th December - All 12 seen

    Cow 1396 and steer 1626 were happily munching on heather in the area around ///miracle.deep.inflamed at 13.15 this afternoon.  They were soon joined by steer 197 and cows 211 and 212.  They all continued to graze.  The cows were all looking well.

    After a walkabout looking for the other three, I spotted steer 1640 munching on gorse in the bushes around ///wreck.travels.feasts at 13.50.  Steer 1669 was also eating nearby, but he wandered off to join up with the other five.  Steer 210 was deeper into the gorse bushes, the other side of a deep water-filled trench.  I could see he was fine from a distance and decided against trying to cross over.

    As I had been checking the first five cows, the ponies had wandered past.  They briefly stopped, but then continued on their way.  I found them again down near the main entrance around ///whisk.dreams.outsize at 14.20.  They were all munching on grass and gorse.  They were all their usual friendly selves, but were more on edge than normal, frequently stopping to have a good look and listen to their surroundings.  After about twenty minutes, they wandered south-west along the track along the front of the trees near the fence line.

    The cows and the ponies were all good today.

    Thursday 28th December - All 12 seen

    The ponies were grazing in the area around ///jeep.insulated.saves at 13:50 this afternoon.  They were all happy and relaxed.  They were a bit damp, but they were drying out in the strong breeze.  The ponies were enjoying lots of grass, gorse, and heather, but they each stopped and came over to say hello.  After a while, they headed south-east and continued to graze.

    Steers 210 and 1669 were found eating gorse and heather in the area around ///fatter.heave.beep at 14:15.  They were soon joined by steer 197 and cows 211 and 212 who emerged from deep in the surrounding gorse bushes.  They were all looking really well.  About twenty minutes later, the final three, steers 1626 and 1640 plus cow 1396, came out of the gorse bushes and stood together by the main path, where they started to relax and chew their cud.  They, too, were all good.

    I went back to spend some more time with the ponies who had made it to the area around ///promise.months.last by 14:45.

    The cows and the ponies were all good today.
