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.

2024 Highlights
Thank you for all that came out and supported the 3rd Annual 2024 Bull & Female Sale. It was a great event with many family and friends out for the weekend. The previous years’ hard work of showing the cattle, working the herd, and the camaraderie generated with friends and family made it all worth while.
We hope you can join us for the upcoming 2025 Sale on February 15, 2025.
Here are some scenes from the 2024 sale event.

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 200 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.
Locust Hill Cattle Company is a member of both the American Gelbvieh Association as well as a lifetime member of the North Carolina Cattlemen’s Association. Locust Hill Cattle Company was featured in the WINTER Issue of Hyco Lake Magazine and we are honored to be on the cover!
