Serving Breeders Since

For a small organization, East Tennessee Angus Association has made a large impact on the American Angus Association. From its ranks have risen two national leaders Joe Keefauver, who served as 1962 American Angus Association president, and Andy Starr, 1992 president. Serving on the Association Board of Directors have been Dr. Shelby Turner and currently Stan Watts, Murfreesboro. John Crouch, Association director of performance programs and a native of Jonesboro, Tenn., was also active in ETAA. Perhaps the most dedicated member was H.R. Duncan, a University of Tennessee animal science professor, Angus breeder, performance pioneer and ETAA leader.
