For more than a century the name Williams has been synonymous with Angus cattle in upper East Tennessee. In 1921, J.T.E. Williams, a Jonesboro businessman and political figure, bought an Angus bull for use on the small herd of mixed-breed commercial cows owned by his teenage son George A. Willams. In that same year George purchased his first registered Angus as a 4-H club project. That initial purchase sparked a love for Angus cattle that continued to grow and expand until his death in the fall of 1975 while packing his bags to travel to Chicago for the final showing of the famous International Livestock Exposition. His son Alex, aka “the genetics man”, now at the helm, has turned Williams Angus into a successful seller, and teacher, of some of the best genetics in the breed.
