Clayton Farm

Clayton Farm Scottish Highland cattle, Phenix, VA, is nestled in Southside Virginia near Danville. Lori Clayton has raised Scottish Highland cattle for over a decade under the American Highland Cattle Association registry, and the herd undergoes routine health screenings and full vaccination protocols. Calves grow on open pastures with rotational grazing and year-round shelter in a family-run barn shaded by mature oaks.

Clayton Farm emphasizes early socialization, allowing young cattle to become accustomed to farm life and gentle handling. A modest herd size ensures personalized care and close monitoring of growth and behavior. Clean water comes from a spring-fed pond at the edge of rolling hills and a seasonal creek that runs through the pasture. Visitors often note the cattle’s approachable nature and resilience. A long history of careful breeding yields cattle noted for their hardy constitution and distinctive long haircoat.
