The 5 Best Livestock Blowers

This wiki has been updated 26 times since it was first published in November of 2018. If you show sheep, heifers, steers, or other large livestock, then you already know how difficult and time-consuming preparing them for competition can be. These blowers take some of the stress out of that chore, as they can be used to remove dirt, speed up the drying process, and fluff their coats, ensuring that they're ready for the spotlight. You'll never want to go back to using towels again. When users buy our independently chosen editorial choices, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

1. Circuiteer IV

The Circuiteer IV (around $544) has a powerful 17-amp motor with two speeds, allowing you to switch between rapid drying and slower fluffing. The 18-gauge steel casing is more than sturdy enough to handle a few drops — or the occasional kick or two.

Two three-pronged outlets on body
Comes with extra filter
Generous 15-foot hose

2. Sullivan Supply South Air Express Mini

There's a heat booster on the Sullivan Supply South Air Express Mini (around $388) that can speed up your drying time when you're in a hurry to make your next competition. Of course, you can also use it to warm up on those days when the mercury dips below freezing.

Patented cartridge filter system
High-efficiency motor
Available in two colors

3. Circuteer Mini

At just 19 pounds, the Circuteer Mini (about $269) can be lugged around with a minimum of effort. It's a smart choice for anyone showing multiple animals, especially if that requires them to constantly traverse from one side of the arena to the other.

Sturdy steel legs
Great for lambs and goats
Convenient carrying handle

4. Weaver Leather Circuiteer II

The two-speed motor on the Weaver Leather Circuiteer II (about $492) gives you options during your preparation, as you can use the high setting to make short work of large areas, and the lower one to gently dry more sensitive locations on your animal's body.

Great for removing dirt and debris
Two-year limited warranty
Includes tip and filter

5. MetroVac Metropolitan Vac N Blo

The shoulder strap on the MetroVac Metropolitan Vac N Blo (around $330) makes it easy to carry around in tight pens — and there's never enough space backstage at a stock show. Some of the attachments are so big, though, that they limit how much suction you'll be able to generate.

Quiet while in use
Picks up dander well
Takes a long time on larger animals
