About

The original goal of CCI.live was to provide a well-rounded auction service with a strong emphasis on helping the seller and sale management integrate online buyers more easily. Today, CCI.live is made up of approximately 20 people raised in agriculture, seed stock and a farming-ranching way of life. The company has continued to be praised by many users as one of the best and most useful online marketing tools in the business.

CCI.live was developed in late 2017 by Christy Collins, who still owns and operates the company. Christy spent her early career working alongside some of the country’s leading seed stock giants. Always pushing the envelope, in 2016 she completed a six month stint at a coding and design school in Austin, TX, with an eye toward expanding digital marketing capabilities. “I was like a fish out of water and way in over my head. During the first weeks I almost quit several times, but looking back, it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I learned a great deal about application development and adapted to a new way of seeing things.

Today, CCI.live provides services and advertising from coast to coast and will soon operate in Australia. In 2026, CCI.live will sell an estimated $200 million in seed stock online, not including commercial cattle and weekly auction market broadcasts.

Christy stated,“It’s a daily task to stay ahead of the technology while still being everything we can to the buyer and seller. I’ve developed relationships with a lot of great people in the last 35 years. That being said, I’m mostly proud of the employees and representatives who are the “A Team” at CCI.live. It was not easy to manage the growth and technological process when we started, as a matter of fact it was downright bloody at times. The team behind the scenes have stayed hooked, gave me their confidence and are more dedicated to this business than I could ever ask. CCI.live is a network of uber talented young people who have an inherited love and respect for livestock. It will be fun to see what the next 10 years brings in livestock marketing. I hope we will stay ahead of the curve, with this team I know we will.”
