"Ya Gotta Start 'Em Young".

Joe Williams and his grandson James Paul

In 2006 Joe Williams takes his one year old grandson, James Paul, for his first introduction to stock at TASK Farms.

 

In 2008 the duo head towards the stock pens at TASK Farms.

 

In 2008, three year old James Paul and "his" Triple Herding Champion Border Collie,

HC, HTCH, WTCH Contact Point's Gidget, study their stock before beginning practice.

 

James attempts to give Gidget a redirect while working stock.

1-23-11 New Kid on the Block James's brother Kyan Joseph

In January, 2011, Joe and James (left, now 5 1/2 years old) introduce James' little brother, 16-month old Kyan Joseph Paul (AKA KyJoe) to stock at Task Farms while Joe's Australian Cattle Dog, Belle, makes sure they're doing it right.

 

Joe and KyJoe point to the sleeping lamb's watchful mother while Belle and James look on.

 

Getting up close and personal, KyJoe gets kissed by the lamb while James shows his brother how it's done.

 

Since there's always work to be done on the farm, James receives his first driving lesson hauling hay and a stock gate.
