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 3rd August

 All 45 Sheep found in the NE quadrant of the Compartment. I checked ears on all sheep that weren't in the undergrowth (35-40) and all are fine, but the one with a problem may have been among the few in the undergrowth whose ears I couldn't see properly.

Water trough definitely working, as 3 sheep drank from it whilst I was there and I could hear it refilling.

All fences and gates okay.
