Those who know Bill Powell know him well, and those who may not get to know him quickly. William “Bill” Powell Jr. and his wife, Gail, have operated Arrowhead Angus for many years in Thurmont, Maryland. Bill worked as a regional manager at the American Angus Association for 23 years where he provided service to thousands of members in his territory, which consisted of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.

He and Gail have been married for 33 years. They have been a true partnership in every sense of the word. Together, they own Arrowhead Farms in Thurmont where they have raised registered Angus cattle for 80 years. Gail was a strong force in keeping things going on the farm while Bill traveled for the Association for 23 years.
