QUICK FACTS:

     The LSU Block and Bridle Club is a community service based group with the goals of promoting the animal agriculture industry, while developing leadership skills within its members. Founded in 1933, we are a student organization on LSU's campus that works to promote animal agriculture around the Baton Rouge area. We do this by taking part in a number of activities, ranging from petting zoos, livestock shows, LSU's AgMagic, rodeos, and much more. We work hard to accomplish our goals and have a lot of fun along the way! We always enjoy celebrating our individual and societal success. 

     We are affiliated with the National Block and Bridle Club. Chapters from around the United States gather every year at the National Convention, where we network and connect with other members. In 2019, we hosted the convention in conjunction with NCBA in New Orleans, LA. We also had the honor of hosting the 102nd National Convention with the Cattle Industry Convention and the NCBA Trade show in 2023.

​

GETTING INVOLVED:

• Each fall we host our annual Block and Bridle Rodeo. This serves as our major fundraiser, and a huge social event, for our club, the university, and the community.

​

• In the spring we have our Little International Livestock Show. Both active members and pooches show animals that are raised on the LSU farm and compete for showmanship awards.

​​

• We also participate in various events campus-wide such as AgMagic, LSU State Livestock Show, 4-H University, and others.
