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 27th December - All 12 seen

    The ponies were initially standing relaxing in the area around ///wants.crafts.wealth at 10:25 this morning.  They were all damp but seemed happy enough.  They were their usual friendly selves and came and said hello.  After 10 minutes or so, they decided to take advantage of the rain being off and wandered through the trees to the area around ///saunas.twit.rope where they started to munch on some crunchy gorse.  The ponies were all well.

    Seven cows were standing on the path around ///flexed.cookies.refilled just before 11:00.  The eighth, steer 1626, was munching in the gorse bushes to the south of the path.  It turned out Alex had been called out after a report of an escaped cow at the site, and I suspect his first pass in his truck had brought them out of the gorse bushes and onto the path.  They were all happy and looking well.  When Alex returned, steer 1626 came out of the gorse bushes and stood in the trench alongside the path.

    The cows and the ponies were all good today.

    Tuesday 26th December - All 12 seen

    The ponies were grazing alongside the path in the area around ///moss.care.tasks at 12:45 this afternoon.  They were all happy and relaxed.  One by one, they came over and said hello.  Over the next twenty minutes, the ponies slowly made their way along the path before stopping in the area around ///beep.moves.bead.  They relaxed for a bit, taking the opportunity to have a drink from the many deep puddles, before munching on some gorse.  The pony with the white striped nose was very friendly today and stood and received an ear rub for a good 10 minutes.  I noticed that the graze on her nose has become more pronounced since I saw her on Saturday (photo below).

    Steer 210 and cow 211 were found wandering along the path in the area around ///unrated.guises.asked at 13:40.  They stopped and said hello before disappearing into the thicket to the south.  The other six cows were all grazing in the very swampy land around ///spoken.gilding.loads.  They were enjoying lots of gorse.

    The cows and the ponies were good today.

    Saturday 23rd December - All 12 seen

    Cows 212 and 1396 were lying down relaxing and chewing their cud in the area around ///glimmers.belts.slap at 12:10 this afternoon.  The other six cows were grazing close by.  They were all happily munching on gorse and heather.  They were all looking well.

    The ponies were grazing a bit further north around ///cage.scream.bring a short time later.  They, too, were eating gorse and heather.  They were all happy and relaxed and all wandered over to say hello.  The grazes to the ponies faces appear to be healing, but sadly they've still got a way to go.  They certainly don't appear to be any worse.

    By 12:45 another five cows had laid down beside the first two.  They were all relaxing and chewing the cud.  Steer 197 was still munching on gorse.

    The cows and the ponies were good today.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
