Cayla and Zac Small

Nov 2016

Zac entered his first NFR in 10th place with $69,268 in regular season earnings. Zac and Cayla were married on Oct. 29, just a few days after his white coat ceremony at school. His motivation to become a vet comes from loving animals and watching his father Dr. Tony Small. They have a family business, Flying Cow Genetics where Zac’s mom, Kristi, and sister, Courtney, work. His older brother Blair manages their indoor arena.
