Whether you are a beginner or a veteran in the pig ring, it is essential to stay up to date on new products that are hitting the show industry. Awareness of new products can enhance practices you are already preforming on the animals you have on feed in your show barn. Stock Show U Manager, Tess Mittag, sat down with Sullivan Supply’s National Sales Representative, A.J Hornback, to collect her perspective of what the TOP 5 hog products that are flying off the Sullivan Supply Trailers for daily care routines and show day essentials.
Sullivan’s High Definition – This product is the new, ultimate show day, show ring shine spray for swine. The deep, color enhancing shine of High Definition creates added dimension and freshness to the hide of your show pig. This product features a balance of light weight natural ingredients that softens hair and deepens the color tone of darker pigmented show pigs. High Definition is great for swine of all colors.
Sullivan’s Rejuvenate Shampoo – Rejuvenate offers an olive oil, pomegranate extract, and Vita Skin package that leaves the skin on all species silky smooth. This makes the perfect non-degreasing shampoo. Rejuvenate cleans while leaving key natural oils in place to preserve the skin and hide. This shampoo is safe for everyday use without the concern for dryness and irritation. With its mild antiseptic and toning properties, this shampoo also helps tighten pores and tone the skin. REMINDER: Sullivan’s Vita Skin package contains: Vitamin E, Vitamin B complex, and Vitamin C.
Sullivan’s Revive & Revive Lite – What a great product to promote healthy and beautiful hair coat! The foaming action of Revive dissipates into the hair to moisturize and bring life, body, and freshness to dull, dry hair without leaving the hair waxy or limp. Revive is formulated with a purified grade of nourishing bio-based plant leaf and seed oils along with olive oil and high-grade lanolin ester emollients that penetrate and condition the skin and hair with nature’s nutrients. The natural antioxidants contained in Revive stimulate circulation within the scalp to increase nutrient absorption into the hair follicles for faster, healthier hair growth. Revive is high in Vitamin E and fortified with VITA HAIR™. Revive Lite was created to feature the same great conditioning as Revive, but with warmer weather in mind.

The hardware at the end of the handle features a durable molded black plastic ball tip. The Driver Whip is available in 33” or 36” length sizes. This whip is a tremendous multipurpose whip. Its firm feel is great for training at home, while also having a mid-flex shaft and very responsive popper that is super for shows.
