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.

Editor’s note: The hog weigh-in at the Pasco County Fair was Thursday. We’ll let you know how Dixie did. The sale is Saturday.
Trevor has worked hard on raising Dixie. The BIG question is: will Dixie make it to fair. They have to weigh in at 230. If they don’t make it to 230lbs, they can’t show.
As of yesterday, Dixie needed 3 more pounds. Dixie only weighed 24 lbs starting off. Everyone else at ZHS barn started off at 45 to 65 lbs.
I am proud of Trevor. He has done a good job raising Dixie.
