Who We Are

The Saddle and Sirloin Club of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is a member of the National Block and Bridle Club. The club is designed for students interested in the animal and livestock industry. While most of the students are Animal Science majors, others are not; thus all university students are welcome to join. The primary activities of the Saddle and Sirloin Club include the organization and administration of the Little International Horse Show, Badger Kick-off Classic Steer and Heifer Show, and the Badger Bonanza Lamb Show. The group also sponsors and coordinates a national meat-evaluation clinic and contest (triathlon) for junior and senior colleges, and sponsors a campus academic quadrathalon - testing students' knowledge of subjects related to all areas of animal science. The organization is famous for the Club 101 livestock show which allows students the opportunity to handle animals they have not worked with before.
