Sustainable Genetics

Sustainable Genetics is a beef and dairy genetics marketing company operated by Bill Hodge out of the Franklin, Georgia area, in the west Georgia piedmont roughly 60 miles southwest of Atlanta. Founded in 2004, the operation focuses on sourcing and distributing frozen semen and embryos from old-line, maternally efficient cattle selected to thrive in forage-based systems.

On the Jersey side of the program, Sustainable Genetics serves as the U.S. distributor for homozygous polled, A2A2 Jersey bulls developed by Ardachie stud in New Zealand, where the breeding emphasis is on production longevity, forage efficiency, and high butterfat. All dairy sires in the lineup carry the A2A2 beta casein designation. The selection philosophy draws on the animal breeding principles of Dr. Jan Bonsma, favoring pedigrees stacked with long-lived, problem-free cows over EPD-driven approaches that prioritize feedlot or carcass metrics.

For those searching for Jersey cattle or genetics in Georgia, Sustainable Genetics offers a grass-adapted alternative to mainstream seedstock, with sires managed in total forage systems by producers committed to reproductive longevity and low-input profitability.
