Sheep Hoof Trimming Shears — Polished Steel, Serrated Foot-Rot Scissors
These hoof shears are a staple instrument for sheep husbandry, designed for the effective trimming of hooves and management of foot rot. The polished stainless steel construction is resistant to corrosion and straightforward to sterilise between animals, ensuring good flock hygiene.
The dual-blade design is key to its function. One blade is finely serrated to grip the hoof securely, preventing slippage during the cut. The opposing blade is ground to a sharp, plain edge for a clean, decisive action that minimises stress. The traditional, all-steel loop handles offer excellent control and leverage, allowing for precise work.
Ideal for routine hoof maintenance, these shears are suited for farmers managing flock health, veterinary professionals requiring reliable field instruments, and smallholders tending to their livestock.
