When it comes to selling showpigs, there’s one place where buyers and breeders consistently connect: Showpig. Whether you’re hosting an online auction or a ShowpigLIVE preview and sale, or even selling privately off the farm, the numbers prove it—Showpig is where the traffic is.

Online Auctions That Deliver Big Numbers

Online auctions are the cornerstone of our business. For over two decades, Showpig.com has set the standard for bringing sellers and buyers together in a seamless, trusted environment. From the moment your sale is listed, we provide world-class service to our consignors and foster a community of active, engaged buyers who return week after week—helping you achieve the most successful auction possible.

Just last week, three standout online auctions once again highlighted the power of the Showpig platform:

• Heimer Hampshires (8/18) – Over 30,000 views on auction night

  • 130 bidders, Buyers from 15 States
    

• Knauth Showpigs (8/19) – Over 29,000 views on auction night

  • 101 bidders, Buyers 11 States
    

• Team Sloan Livestock (8/20) – Over 26,000 views on auction night

  • 119 bidders, Buyers from 9 States 

“BETWEEN THE MARKETING WE DO ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THE QUALITY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS WE PUT TOGETHER, AND THE TRAFFIC THAT SHOWPIG BRINGS, IT’S A PROVEN RECIPE FOR SUCCESS. BUYERS NOT ONLY SEE OUR PIGS, THEY GET TO REALLY STUDY THEM, AND THAT COMBINATION IS A BIG PART OF WHY OUR SALES HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL,” ~ KYLE KNAUTH, KNAUTH SHOWPIGS 

These events prove that buyers are not just browsing online auctions—they’re showing up in huge numbers, ready to bid.

ShowpigLIVE: Real-Time Energy, Real-Time Results

“FOR A LONG TIME, JASON THOUGHT THE FAIREST WAY TO SELL PIGS WAS TO THE GUYS WHO SHOWED UP AND RAISED THEIR HAND IN PERSON. TRUTH IS, EVEN WHEN FOLKS WANT TO BE THERE, THEY CAN’T ALWAYS MAKE IT. THAT’S WHERE THE ONLINE PIECE CHANGES EVERYTHING. WE PUT IN THE EXTRA TIME TO PICTURE AND PROMOTE, AND IT PAID OFF. THE TRAFFIC STARTS ON SHOWPIG, THE BIGGEST MEGAPHONE YOU CAN FIND WHEN YOU’VE GOT PIGS TO SELL. THE EYEBALLS CARRY OVER TO THE CCI BIDDING PLATFORM, BUT IT’S SHOWPIG’S PUSH, SERVICE, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT REALLY AMPLIFIES IT ALL. AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT GIVES US AND OUR CONSIGNORS MORE REACH AND OUR BUYERS A FAIR SHOT, NO MATTER WHERE THEY’RE AT.” ~ JACKIE LACKEY, LACKEY LIVESTOCK

One Thing Remains the Same

Online auctions. ShowpigLIVE sales. Preview listings. Private Bid Boards. No matter which route you take, the results all point to one truth: buyers come to Showpig to find pigs.
