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!

Wednesday 20th November

All 49 sheep accountable.  14 x WFW 35 Shetland. They were difficult to locate as they were checking out their new compound, 10 spotted up on the southern ridge (1 x WFW, 9 x Shetland) they stayed in perfect sunny spot.

All in good shape, no limping.

All 3 water troughs were frozen, I've broken the ice and put a branch in one of the 2 x water trough to help reduce the freezing. 

Sheep nut tub over 3/4 full. 

All Gates and fencing good. Chalk on gate 11 has started to fade. 

1 x Dog walker seen on site, dog on lead.
