The article discusses the role played by specialist veterinarian Alastair Hayton in helping one top dairy farmer recover from the debilitating floods across the Somerset Levels in England. Topics include the loss of nearly one-third of the grassland of the farm under deep water, Alastair's help in increasing the fertility levels and decreasing mastitis cell counts as the herd size rose sharply to 800 milkers on the grassland, and Alastair's focus on all aspects of dairy cow health.
