The Iowa State University Block & Bridle Club is the premier Animal Science organization on campus, dedicated to cultivating professionalism and preparing students for successful careers in animal agriculture. Led by students and highly esteemed within the university community, our club is committed to achieving its objectives and fostering member success through a diverse range of activities throughout the year. Our noteworthy events include the Cyclone Classic Cattle Show, Summer Sausage & Cheese Sales, Animal Learning Day, Little North American Showmanship Contest, Iowa FFA Poultry Judging Contest, and the Spring Spectacular Jackpot Hog Show. Additionally, we engage in impactful community service initiatives such as the Hunger Fight, where we package meals for those in need every fall, and we partner with the American Red Cross to host a Blood Drive in the spring. Within our club, we have eight interest groups focusing on Beef, Swine, Sheep, Goat, Horse, Poultry, Companion Animal, and Meats. Members are encouraged to join these interest groups to deepen their knowledge about specific species and participate in meetings, trips, and educational events tailored to their interests. We invite all members to explore these opportunities and become actively involved in our dynamic club community.

If you're considering joining the Block and Bridle Club, we hold new initiate meetings at the start of each semester (fall and spring). These meetings provide an overview of the Iowa State Block and Bridle Club and outline the steps to become a member.
