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 29th April - Staff Check AM

    The boys were chewing the cud in the shade of the pine woodland to the NE of the site today. Two of them were quite  comically sat in a rhododendron bush. All friendly as usual. 

    No issues to report. I also heard a Woodlark, they have the most beautiful song, do listen out for it if you're into your birds. 

    Kind Regards,

    Saturday 26th April - All 4 seen

    The yearlings were happily grazing southwest of the ammo compound at 14:15 this afternoon. They were enjoying plenty of fresh grass, heather, and leaves from the silver birch trees in the warm sunshine. All were very friendly, taking turns to come over to say hello and enjoy some strokes. The boys were happy, relaxed, and looking well. It's great to see them continuing to gain condition, and not looking as lean around their hindquarters.

    The boys gradually moved further southwest, reaching ///head.avoid.flitting by 15:10. Yearling 276 alternated between grazing and coming over for strokes and rubs. He especially loved long neck and chin rubs, rewarding me with affectionate head nudges and licks. He also thoroughly enjoyed a good back scratch while grazing, and it was really noticeable how much he's filled out over the past week. Yearling 282 was also very friendly, frequently coming over for strokes. Yearling 283 had squashed a few ticks around his front right “armpit”, leaving some traces of blood, but he was otherwise fine, and was moving normally.

    The yearlings continued to graze nearby, and by 15:50 they had begun turning back toward where they had come from. Shortly after, I said my goodbyes, leaving them contentedly grazing.

    The water trough was full, but it had a lot of algae and leaves floating on the surface, so I gave it a good clean.

    The cows were all good today.










    Thursday 24th 11:30am All good.

    Saw all the cows at ///veal.blip.highlight

    They were all fine, just munching away & moving slowly.

    Wednesday 23rd - Morning

     Easily found the cows at ///prelude.betraying.scouts

    They were on the move and I had trouble keeping up with them.  I gave up after they went past the corral and disappeared into the scrub.

    From what I saw they were all fine.

    Shortly before 15:00 this afternoon, the cattle were gathered around the water trough, having recently wandered down from the duck pond. As ...
