Block and Bridle Logo

The University of Minnesota Block & Bridle Club is a dynamic student-run organization for anyone passionate about animal agriculture, animal science, and livestock industries. One of the oldest and most respected clubs on the Twin Cities campus since 1923, Block & Bridle provides students with opportunities to deepen their understanding of animal sciences while building professional skills, meaningful connections, and lifelong friendships. Throughout the year the club stays involved by helping at the Minnesota FFA Convention, Annual Spring Ham Sale, and livestock shows during the spring and summer months. This includes the Minnesota Junior Spring Classic Beef Show, Sheep and Goat Showdown, and the Swine Showdown.
