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!

    Wednesday 28th - Morning

     What a nice change, the sun was shining

    Found the ponies and cows all together at the junction of the path to the corral and the main path.

    They were all standing in the sunshine with lots of steam coming from their coats.  The cows had a few moos when they saw me.

    Gave all the cows a good rub.  I thought they were getting a bit thin round their hind quarters, quite hollow round their hips.

    All the ponies were good.

    Had a nip on my back from the pony with the grey tinged coat, nothing serious but will be bruised tomorrow.  Don't think she liked it when I stopped stroking her and started to stroke the pony next to her!

      Hi Howard, thank you for your update, we assessed the cattle yesterday as they will drop condition this time of year. The livestock team were happy with them and noted they do have fat around certain key areas (legs and tail) which is good, but I will be putting licks out for them. Sorry to hear you got a nip from the ponies, do take care
