Lori Clayton breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Charlotte Court House, VA, in Southside Virginia near Lynchburg. Clayton has been breeding for several years, maintaining membership in state and national breed associations and performing routine veterinary examinations along with genetic health screening.

The farm follows a low-stress approach to husbandry, offering mineral supplements and regular hoof care as well as ample shelter during winter months. Out of a deep appreciation for the breed’s heritage, Clayton selects breeding pairs for hardiness and gentle disposition while preserving the breed’s characteristic long coats. Visitors often comment on the quiet pasture setting and friendly cattle that demonstrate the benefits of early socialization and attentive care. A seasoned small-scale breeder, Clayton is committed to sustainability and land stewardship through careful pasture management and environmental practices.
