The 90^th annual National Block and Bridle Convention was held in Louisville, Kentucky during November 12^th-14^th. The three day convention consisted of opening and closing ceremonies along with recognition of outstanding members and clubs.
In addition, Friday consisted of a tour to three sites; Akers Angus Beef Cattle Farm, the Bourbon Whiskey distiller, and Altech Biotechnology center. The Altech Biotechnology center has taken genetics to another level and have extended the technology to be able to looking at genomes of a variety of animals through a single chip. Saturday of the convention consisted of N.A.I.L.E., where we were able to attend a extended variety of livestock shows as well as going through the trade market that was set up in the building as well and was ended with a rodeo that we were encouraged to attend.
This event helped extend national relations to other agriculturally involved Universities as well as extending relations at a personal level through The Ohio State University and 'Block and Bridle'.        Below is students from Saddle and Sirloin who attended National Convention this fall.
