Hodge Ranch & Sustainable Genetics, LLC

Hodge Ranch & Sustainable Genetics, LLC raises angus cattle in Franklin, GA, Heard County and west central Georgia near Columbus. Bill Hodge has been breeding quality angus for more than a decade and holds membership in the American Angus Association, backed by regular health testing. They conduct annual tests for common hereditary conditions and maintain strict biosecurity protocols to protect herd health. Every breeding decision is guided by clear performance records and rigorous evaluation of lineage.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures and calves on open fields, promoting natural behaviors and low-stress handling. Animals known for balanced structure and calm temperaments adapt well to both small farm settings and larger commercial operations. Calves are weaned gradually and introduced to herd dynamics, reflecting the ranch’s focus on welfare and sustainable grazing techniques. Detailed performance and pedigree records support informed breeding choices and long-term genetic improvement.
