Commercial Cattle Show Grooming Bundle – Restock Kit

The Commercial Cattle Show Grooming Bundle is a complete show prep kit for commercial and crossbred cattle of any colour. It combines a clear soap, a deep-cleaning shampoo, a coat dressing, a halter, a snaffle and a pin comb – everything you need to wash, set and lead a commercial animal into the show ring.

What's included

• ShowTime Clear Soap 2.5kg – professional grooming soap that holds the hair without changing coat colour, so it suits any breed or cross.
• Wahl Dirty Beastie Shampoo 5L – deep-cleaning shampoo for thick, dirty or matted coats.
• Megashine Coat Dressing 1L – silicone-based dressing for shine without a greasy or sticky finish.
• 12mm Blue Poly Halter – tough, hard-wearing halter for washing, training and the wash bay.
• Hiatts Nose Leader/Snaffle – strong, hard-wearing snaffle for shows or everyday use.
• Perth Pin Comb – wooden handle with long teeth, ideal for working through thick winter coats.

2. Dry, then work the coat up with the Perth Pin Comb.
3. Apply Clear Soap to set and hold the hair.
4. Finish with Megashine for shine, and use the Hiatts snaffle for control in the ring.

Frequently asked questions

What soap should I use on crossbred or mixed-colour cattle?

A clear soap such as ShowTime Clear Soap holds the hair without adding colour, so it works on any coat – black, red, white or mixed.

What is a commercial cattle show class?

Commercial classes are for crossbred or non-pedigree cattle, usually judged on conformation and finish. They are common at Irish mart and agricultural shows.

Will Dirty Beastie Shampoo clean a very dirty coat?

Yes. It is a deep-cleaning shampoo made for thick, dirty and matted coats, which makes it a good first wash before show prep.

Why is a snaffle included?

A nose leader or snaffle gives extra control when leading cattle, especially young or strong animals in a busy show ring.
