Young Farmers' Fare

  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.


Last Dance for David Roberts


David Roberts

I will be showing a steer in this year’s Pasco County Fair. This will be my third year showing a steer, and this being my senior year, it will be my last. My steer is a red angus cross and currently weighs about twelve hundred and fifty pounds. I am currently mostly working on record books, but I still walk and groom my steer every day.


It’s coming down to crunch time, but it’s still always fun.
