Clayton Cattle Company

Clayton Cattle Company, Shorthorn cattle breeders in Belmont, WI, serve Lafayette County and southwestern Wisconsin near Madison. Lucas Clayton has been raising registered Shorthorn cattle for over a decade, maintaining American Shorthorn Association membership and herd health through regular veterinary checks and genetic screening.

Animals graze on rotational pastures that support soil health and access a sheltered barn during Wisconsin winters. Calves remain with their dams through weaning and receive daily handling to encourage calm dispositions. Feeding programs combine high-quality hay, pasture grazing and trace minerals to promote steady growth and reproductive health.

A longtime family farm, it focuses on balanced structure and maternal traits, producing heifers and bulls suited to both commercial herds and small operations. Moderate herd size allows for individual attention and detailed record keeping. Ongoing guidance is provided to owners adapting new cattle into their operations.
