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.
Trevor Wilson, 11
Hi. My name is Trevor Wilson. I am 11 years old. I attend Academy At The Farm Charter School. I am a member of the 4-H at the Academy.
I am raising a blue butt hog for the Pasco County Fair. My hog’s name is Dixie. I have been taking care of her every day since October 21, 2006. She loves to have back and tummy rubs every day. It is a FUN learning experience.
I am raising her to sell at the Pasco County Fair, February 24, 2007, at 6:00p.m. Anyone interested in bidding on her can do so. Her pig number is 401. I have mailed out many bid letters to invite bidders. Also, I have to keep a record book of Dixie.
