Block and Bridle

The Block and Bridle Club looks great on a resume, helps students become involved, and is a great opportunity to meet lifelong friends that share a passion for Agriculture!

National Block and Bridle club members are college students from all over the United States who are interested in Animal Agriculture.  UW B&B is a registered student organization, involved with the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.  Members do not have to be studying a major within the College of AG to be part of Block and Bridle.  The UW Collegiate Block and Bridle Club is affiliated with the national organization.

Objectives:

• To promote a higher scholastic standard and a more complete understanding of Animal Science among student members.
• To promote animal agriculture through development of a program of activities that will supplement students' study of the animal science in colleges and universities.
• To enhance professionalism of students who will one day be leaders.

If you have a passion for learning more about Agriculture and Animal Science and would like to advocate that passion, contact one of our officers or advisors to join B&B.

Annual Block & Bridle Banquet
At the end of the spring semester, the club hosts the annual Block and Bridle Banquet, which recognizes the accomplishments of outstanding students, staff and judging teams in Animal Science.  The banquet is followed by a dance.

The club also puts on a team academic competition for all students to participate in.  Competition includes:  lab practicums, a written test, an oral presentation, and a quiz bowl.  The winning team gets to compete at the regional level.

This energetic group of students also works together to decorate the Animal Science Foyer for the Holiday season.
