Hi Sam and Jo,
Just a simple request re our safety please.
Last Thursday (4.30pm roughly), the third cow testing "inconclusive for TB" was brought to the Western Fen.
At this stage, I was unaware that this was going to happen.
At the time, I was actually in the Ashley Meadow enclosure, checking the two cows.
I was between the cows and the electric fence, going from the battery connection after the water pump, moving towards the cows on the western side of the field.
When the cows spotted the trailer plus cow, coming to the Western Fen, one bellowed loudly and "stampeded" over to the south-western corner of the field and fence.
Luckily, I was not actually between it and its path to the fence corner, by the disused gate. However, had I have been, I might have been in its path! It may not have run at me.Who knows.
So, the request, after all this detail, is a simple one, please.
If cows are to be brought in, or taken out of any of the enclosures, please can someone, ideally, Sam as you are working all week, let the daily "Looker" know, beforehand, by mobile phone.
It might be handy if we all also receive a text as well, just in case we are standing in for anyone else.
(email or blog posts which can follow for all, do not guarantee prior receipt if we happen to be on our way, or already in the enclosures, or elsewhere, where we are not picking up such information).
Nothing like this has happened before, and it may be a one off - but I would rather be pre-warned, just in case, please. My number again, is 07484 790412.
Many thanks, and much appreciated.
David C.
