Rusty Stott
Animal, Dairy, & Vet Sciences
Clinical Assistant Professor

Educational Background
Biography
I grew up on a beef ranch in Montana. I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1997 with a BS in Animal Science, and Kansas State University in 2001 with DVM. I am married to my wife Tammy of 25 years and we have 4 children, Brandon, Luke, Carolina, and Kade.
Teaching Interests
Animal health related topics both preventative and treatment my biggest interests are in assisted reproductive technologies.
