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 01489 774400. 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!

Monday 18th November

 Found all 49 sheep, of which :-

-35 Shetlands and 3 WFW came to me for food 

- 9  WFW were on the Northern Slope sitting in the sun

- 2 WFW were just into the trees on the edge of the bowl (near the Northern slope).

All looked healthy, but the Shetland that had the bramble on its coat now has the bramble more embedded in its coat and one Shetland had a small branch attached to its coat (I tried to approach this one to see if I could remove it but it moved away). Bumped into Bea on the way back so let her know.

Food is now very short (enough for at least 1 day, maybe 2).

Water trough is full, but container is now about 15% full.

Only dog walker seen was in central compartment and moving away from Western compartment.
