Wake up. Throw on some clothes. Get out to the barn.
The animals need to be fed and watered. Need to make sure they're OK, and relatively happy.
Cows, chickens, rabbits, pigs: Champions in training can be demanding.
Some like to be brushed; others spook easily. Some like to play; others think they're in charge.
Being the best isn't easy. But it's what drives these teens - that, and their animals.
You'll find stories behind every pen at Tampa Bay's agricultural fairs. Come along as we follow the stories of several teens preparing for the 2007 fair season.

I am so nervous. I have worked very hard and can only hope Cleo will make it in. Her weight is 254 pounds now, so weightwise, she should be good. It will be a very busy few days to come, and we will have to take a record book test if our hog makes it in the fair. I want to thank everyone that has helped me learn through out this project. I have a better understanding about what it takes to raise a market animal and want to definitely do this again next year. I wish everyone luck and hope to see everyone at the fair! Please stop and say hi.
