He has been around all types of animals through his veterinary experience, rodeos, and even in his own home.  Scott has 5 four-legged children, including 2 dogs, Magnum (13 yrs.) and Sierra (9.5yrs), 2 cats, Crash (7yrs.) and Jazmine (5 yrs.), and the Live Oak resident cat, Voodoo (2yrs).  He lovingly calls them all  “The Herd”.  His greatest horse enjoyment came from several years competing in team roping on his former horse, Stick, who passed away at the age of 26 in November 2010.
