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!

    Sunday 1 November 26. (12:50 - 13.25). All Three Seen in D5/6. All Well.

     Initially found Jura just inside the scrub woodland, only a few yards north-west of the ammo dump compound.  He was heading west.

    I found Jeans about forty yards further west.  He was only a few yards north of the track heading SW from the compound  gradually making his way west.

    I then started looking for Jet, but the "No-Fence" was messing about.  When it came back to life, I could see, (own eyes) Jeans in one of the lower tank pits on the S side of the track.  The "No-Fence" was showing Jet and Jura in the thicker gorse/bracken/rhodi on the northern side of the track, but now further away from it.  I spent some time scrambling about in there looking for a sign of Jeans, but only kept seeing Jura. 

    As could see, (from N-F) that these two were still slowly heading west-ish, I left them to it and went and watched Jeans in the pit scratching her neck on the pit edge, where I could at least stand up straight!  After about eight minutes, I ventured north of the track again opposite the lower tank pits, where the scrub is lighter.  I watched as the moving tree tops came closer and closer and I could hear the sound of them coming toward me through the thick scrub.

    Eventually Jura popped out, followed a short distance behind by Jet.

    As I came back onto the track by the lower pits, Jeans was just leaving the pits and was making his way south. I did not check the trough, as Gordon did yesterday and drinking puddles were plentiful

    All three appeared well today, although none were interested in any attention from me.


     


    Just a reminder, I am in Northumberland from later this week and so will be unable to check on the cattle either on Friday 6 or Sunday 8 November.
