Powder Creek Simmentals is owned and operated by the Hilley Family, consisting of daughter Nicole, sons Ryan and Jimmy and husband and wife team, Rodney and Gail.

Our program began with a commitment to producing low birth, strong maternal, cost efficient performance cattle that are easy fleshing and require minimum maintenance while working in a forage based environment. Our appreciation for this type of cattle evolved over time and the years of working with large numbers of cattle of several breeds gave us the practical insight into the type of cattle needed to meet our goals.

As you visit our site, please keep in mind that we are very open to any questions about our program that you may have, so please give us a call at 770-567-3909 to discuss any of the cattle that we currently have for sale or to talk about our breeding philosophy.

We participate in two bull development development & marketing programs in which we sell the majority of our bull calves that are produced on our farm each year. In addition to the Canoochee Development program and sale, we also participate in the Optimum Beef Bulls Development Program.

We have two PB Simmental Bulls that sell in the 2008 Optimum Sale on Friday, March 21 in Valdosta, GA and also three excellent F1 SimAngus hybrid bulls. If you need more information, please don't hesitate to give us a call or fill out our Information Request Form on this website.

We are proud to have produced and consigned the top indexing SimAngus Composite bull at the first annual Optimum Beef Bulls Development Program. Rodney is shown here receiving the award from Dr. Jim Strickland, president of the Georgia Cattlemen's Association.

Our newest venture in the cattle business is Clover Leaf Genetics, LLC. Together with three fellow Simmental and SimAngus breeders, we founded this semen sales and marketing program to make more readily available, semen from the highest indexing bulls that graduate from the Canoochee Forage Bull Development Program. For more information about this unique program or to order bull semen, please contact us directly, or visit the Clover Leaf Genetics website.
