Lid Factory

Lid Factory is a breeder of Scottish highland cattle in Cayucos, CA, serving San Luis Obispo County and the Central Coast near San Luis Obispo.

With years of experience in careful breeding practices and adherence to recommended health protocols, the farm prioritizes strong lineage and well-being. All cattle are enrolled in routine veterinary screenings and traceable lineage records are maintained for every calf. The herd lives on rolling coastal pastures, where they receive regular handling and a diet balanced for robust growth.

Dorothy Kleinhammer focuses on low-stress management and socialization from an early age, shaping cattle that thrive in both pasture and show settings. Prospective owners often note the animals’ calm temperament and sturdy conformation when visiting the ranch. The farm’s modest facilities reflect a focus on animal welfare rather than spectacle. Efforts to preserve the breed’s distinctive horns and dense coat guide each breeding decision.
