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.
Time again to head out to the barn, out to the pen, into the show ring, for a behind-the-scenes take on raising a would-be champion hog, steer or heifer.
We may even get a chicken or a rabbit this year.
Welcome back for another year of Young Farmers’ Fare. These are the stories of young people raising animals for the fair. Sometimes we hear from a parent or a teacher, too.
In the next few weeks, you’ll meet some terrific kids. Maybe you’ll be taken back to when you were getting ready for the fair.
You’re guaranteed to laugh. Animals are unpredictable after all, and these ones can get pretty big.
So stick with us through fair season, and check back often. You never know what you’ll see.
