Welcome to the Hawley Common Lookers' Blog: Wednesday 5th

Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

Call the office on 01256 381190.
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.
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 5th - Morning

Found the cows just at the side of the main track a little way from the cattle grid.

I first saw 283 chewing something. I managed to get through the scrub and he had dropped what turned out to be a dog throw, ball on a rope. Good job he hadn't tried to swallow it.

I took throw home and binned it.

Other than that the cows were all good, just lots of flies around them.

I went over and checked the trough, all fine with that. I did scoop a load of pine needles off the surface.
