At Stock Show University® and Sullivan Supply, we are always looking for tools that improve daily care while also elevating show day results—and the NEW Sullivan’s 220 SMART Brush does exactly that. The industry’s first flat-back grooming brush, it is designed for precision leg work across hogs, sheep, goats, and thin-haired cattle. Its unique 220-degree curved head allows it to reach hair in areas traditional brushes miss, helping lift, separate, and build body with greater control and consistency. Compact and pocket-friendly, it is built to live in your show box and work wherever you need it most.
The Sullivan’s 220 SMART Brush features a dual-purpose bristle design that sets it apart. Ball-tipped bristles stimulate the hide and promote healthy daily hair and skin condition, while the stiffer fluffer bristles create added lift and volume—critical for building shape and expression in the show ring. Just as important as the tool itself is knowing when to use it: as this is a grooming tool, plastic combs and brushes like this brush are highly recommended for daily grooming and hair care routines. When we talk about mental combs, they are reserved strictly for fitting situations when using adhesives like Sullivan’s Tail Adhesive and PrimeTime to shape and set structure to an area on an amimal. Knowing the separation of tools of when to use them and when not to use them ensures optimal hair/hide health, reduces breakage, and leads to a cleaner, more consistent finish when it matters most on show day!
