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.


Learning a Lot About Pigs


Trevor Wilson, 11, Dade City

It has been crazy around here. Dixie is doing good.
She is still gaining weight. Pig weigh-in is on the 22nd.
I will have to wash her and clean her ears.She can’t have no dirty ears.
My mom runs me an my brother to the barn daily. My brother is showing a dairy cow & steer. We have been spending 2-4 hours at the barn every day.
I have learned a lot about pigs.
