Add Your Animals to 4HOnline
If you are showing an animal at the Pierce County Fair, you need to enter your animal into 4HOnlne prior to registering for the Fair. Animals are added in the Animal/Livestock tab in the members profile page. Below is a link to a guide that will help you add your animals into the system. If you have added them in the past you need to go into 4HOnline and certify them once a year. If you have questions, contact mike.seiber@wsu.edu.
