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.

Brandais Austrino, 14, Pasco High School
This year I am showing a steer for the first time in the Pasco County Fair. I have shown cattle for three years in fairs all around Florida. I live on a ranch that has 30 head of Angus cattle and three horses.
I have enjoyed working with my steer. He is a lot of fun, and I will miss him. I am also showing my show cattle in the fair, too. I have four cows that are going, and they are Teddy, Sassy, Elby and Maggie, with her calf named Roll On.
