Early On…
Initially working the land as tobacco farmers, Locust Hill Cattle Company has humble beginnings. As as the tobacco industry dissolved in Caswell County and beyond, the family operated farm was transitioned to a cow calf operation.
Making A mark…
With a lifelong dream to have a viable cattle company, owner Todd Hodges developed an interest early on, after graduating from NC State, in the Gelbvieh breed, due to its superior genetics.
Sustaining the Farm…
Bringing the dream to reality this February 15, Locust Hill Cattle Company is hosting its fourth annual bull and cattle sale at the Oakhaven location. After several years of producing award winning bulls and females, the farm is pleased to offer product to the public.
Our Story
The Locust Hill Cattle Company was formed in the early 2000’s. Working together with family members the herd has consistently expanded. After trips to the National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO, it was the purchase of ‘Big Dog’ that was a real turning point for the genetics of the operation.
Today the farm has over 250 brood cows. “Our breeding program includes extensive artificial insemination and embryo transfer which allow Locust Hill to have the highest advanced genetic cattle possible,” says owner Todd Hodges. “Our goal is to produce the highest quality seed stock for the cattle industry. This includes breeding bulls and heifers. All this to help cattle producers establish sound, productive herds with our high-quality genetics.”
Hodges also raises Angus (black & red) and Balancer cattle. “We cross breed Gelbvieh and Angus to produce the Balancer Cattle. Balancer is a hybrid breed of beef cattle, a combination of Gelbvieh and Angus. These cattle are bred for their hybrid vigor, resulting in a higher growth rate and better quality meat.
