Little International is a College of Ag Sciences tradition hosted every year by the Block and Bridle Club. Registration deadline February 15th.
The Penn State Chapter of the National Block and Bridle Club is proud to announce the 108th Little International, a Department of Animal Science tradition scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026.
On behalf of the Penn State Block and Bridle Club, the Show Committee would like to invite any University Park student to attend, as well as participate in this annual event. Any UP student is welcome to participate and gain hands-on experience with livestock by showing cattle, sheep, swine, or horses.
Little International is a culmination of the club's activities, which focuses on members expanding their knowledge and experience within the livestock industry. As a club, we strive to provide interested students with an opportunity to gain valuable experience in handling cattle, sheep, swine, and horses.
One month prior to the show, Penn State livestock will be allocated to students via a random drawing. During the 4 weeks leading up to the show, exhibitors will learn fitting and showmanship skills for their selected species through practice and hard work. On show day, April 11th, the students will show their animals against each other in an evaluation of their fitting and showmanship skills at the Snider Agricultural Arena.
For more information, please reach out to Show Manager, Evangeline McGargle (eim5342@psu.edu).
