About this Online System

  • Please reach out to bellvillefairlivestock@gmail.com with questions.
  • Watch this help video for guidance during the online registration process. Video is quick. Be prepared to pause it as needed.
  • Because Bellville Fair is not affiliated with 4-H, ignore any prompts within this online system that mention 4HOnline. You will need to enter information for each exhibitor and each animal that will be exhibited. Nothing from 4HOnline is carried over into Bellville's system.
  • Within this registration process, you will see buttons referring to payment. There are NO ENTRY FEES for any Jr. exhibitors. You will not be prompted to enter payment information.

Showmanship - You can enter Showmanship classes during this online entry process; however, this is NOT the only opportunity you will have to sign-up for showmanship.


Large Animals (steers, feeder calves, hogs, market goats, market lambs) - As part of your entry you will be required to submit photos of your animals. Required photos are as follows: front of animal with tag visible, left side of animal and right side of animal.

If you need EID tags for self-tagging, contact a livestock director. In-person tagging is Sunday, July 12 from 5:00-7:00 PM at the pavilion behind the Jefferson Twp. Fire Dept.

Scrapie Tags - Click here for information about scrapie tags, i.e. flock ID vs. animal ID.

Market Rabbits: are required to be tattooed by August 2. If you have a rabbit from an adjacent county fair you'll need to submit a completed proof of possession/tattoo form and pictures by August 2. If your rabbit is not tattooed, there will be Rabbit Tattooing on Sunday, August 2 from 5:00-7:00 PM in the Old Fire Station.
