Sustainable Genetics

Sustainable Genetics breeds Jersey cattle in Franklin, Georgia, serving Heard County and the west Georgia region near Atlanta. The operation is led by Bill Hodge, who has more than two decades of experience and participates in national breed registry programs to ensure herd health.

All cattle are raised on pasture with rotational grazing practices that promote natural nutrition and strong immune systems. Calves spend ample time socializing in family groups, and their living areas are cleaned daily to maintain comfort. Sustainable Genetics has earned praise from local dairy farmers for consistent temperament and milk yield, reflecting the farm’s dedication to careful breeding.

Regular veterinary screenings and genetic evaluations help maintain breeding standards while supporting biodiversity. The farm’s roots in family agriculture create a supportive environment that values both animal welfare and environmental stewardship. The breeder is a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association, underscoring commitment to recognized breeding guidelines.
