Blog Assignment #2

All my life I have been very involved with agriculture. Since about 4th grade I have been showing livestock mostly swine, and also cattle. As I moved on to college I wanted to keep involved with livestock and livestock showing.
When I came to Iowa State I heard about the Block and Bridle club. I talked to several people that were already involved in the club to find out what it involved. I also attended several meetings of the club in the first few weeks of school and I decided that I would like to join.

Block and Bridle focuses on all aspects of livestock. There are interest groups for swine, cattle, dairy, sheep, LNA, equine, and companion animal. Every group usually goes on a trip and holds one major event per year. Although I am not involved in it, I believe LNA is a very interesting group. LNA stands for Little North American, and it is a showmanship event. In this group you can be labled as an expert or a novice. Then an expert and novice are paired and the expert teaches the novice how to show a certain species.
I ended up joining this group and I look forward to all of its activities over the next four years.

It is always important to be to class on time because if you are late you could miss something important, also it shows a lot of respect to the professer if you show up on time.
