I've used all sorts of shears on my boy, being sometimes I wait a month to do his hooves they get pretty thick. The Zen port Q140DX went right through those bad boys without hesitation and... I didn't have to use much strength.<br />These are also great bc I have small hands and struggle with grip. :)

Very easy to us. I was nervous to try, as these are my first goat hooves to trim. But the trimmers where easy to use and it went great. I recommend these hoof trimmers for goats (can't speak for any other animal).

These replaced another highly rated brand of hoof trimmers and these are much sharper and seem to be of better build quality.

I purchased these for trimming our alpacas' and llamas' toenails. I prefer the slightly rounded tips, as it feels a bit safer than pointy tips around dancing and sometimes jerking feet. They seem to do the job just fine. We've only trimmed with them once so far, so hopefully they will keep their edge as the months of trimming accumulate.

This works great to trim goat hooves. Stays sharp longer than I would expect.

O.K, but didn't last long

On first use, I am happy with these hoof trimmers. The real test will be how they hold up to a years worth of use. Until then, I can only say they did a good job

Oh my GOSH, these are the best and sharpest scissors. I have 3 goats and I have trimmed their hooves 6 times so far and they are still extremely sharp. Best buy. Ease of grip!!! Love them. Best price.

I ordered these shears to trim my goats' hooves. These are a sharp, nice quality. They look like they'll last a long time. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that while you are using it, sometimes your hand will push the pin to lock them closed and it was just inconvenient. Definitely worth the money for use.

Great product

Good for clipping goat hooves. The only problem I have found is when the hooves are moist and soft, these clippers don't work well. But on a dry hoof, they are great. The blades are a little on the thick side, so I would use the clippers to get the majority of the hoof off, then use a rasp to finish the hoof.

It was recommended to be by a fellow pot belly pig owner. Works great to click their hooves! They are very sharp. I've cut myself twice. Thats why I give it 4 out of 5.

sadly these don't work for my pot belly pig hooves....the hooves are a bit over grown and thick and my pigs are 9 yrs old...was hoping these would work....i've bought 4 different pair, none work...will keep praying i find something soon as their hooves are in dire straights and no vet will work on pbps here..

I've had these about 15 months and used them only to trim my ONE goat's hooves every 5 or 6 weeks. They're already too dull to use. I'm not impressed with these at all!

worked perfect for our goats....very sharp

We used them once so far to trim 3 goats and worked like I believe they should!

I have owned goats for about eight years, and have always trimmed their hooves myself. I started off with an old pair of Italian hoof rot shears, and they were horrible. They hurt my hands, and crunched painfully through the hard parts of the hoof. They wouldn't even cut the sole or heel of the hoof, unless I cut so deep that they actually cut the goat and drew blood. Finally, I decided that this was ridiculous, and bought these hoof trimmers.<br />These trimmers are GREAT! They are sharp and a perfect size; fitting comfortably in my hand, and just the perfect size to get the job done. No more do I have to wear gloves when trimming to protect my hands from being blistered within five minutes of starting. Now my goats' feet are smooth and level when I am finished trimming, instead of jagged and cut. These trimmers help me keep my goats in good physical condition, and to the best of my ability, I will never again be without them. To keep trimmers in good shape though, make sure you brush out the goat's hoof to remove sand and stones, as these will dull the trimmers.<br /><br />I have also used these on bushes, and they work great for those too!<br /><br />Here is a YouTube how-to video of me trimming one of my goat's feet with these trimmers: [...]<br /><br />How to trim a goat's hooves:<br />1. Secure the goat in a stanchion, or pin it against a wall and straddle its back with your legs to restrain it as much as possible. You don't want it jerking around, as this can be dangerous to you and the goat (remember, you will be using a sharp pair of trimmers!)<br />2. Pick up a foot (front or hind, it doesn't matter which) and brush it off with a stiff bristle brush to remove dirt, hair, manure, stones, and other debris. These are not only unpleasant to work around, but they dull your hoof trimmers.<br />3. Trim the sides (hoof wall) by small snips down to the level of the sole (soft part of the hoof).<br />4. Lightly trim the heel if necessary, so that the whole hoof is level, uniform, and balanced.<br />5. Repeat steps 2-4 for all hooves.<br />6. Release goat, give her a treat, scratch her neck, and put her in the pasture before she gets into trouble, or you get the next goat.<br /><br />Farm website: [...]

These clippers are terrific for lots of uses. I first bought them for trimming my goats' hooves, but before I got to use them for that purpose I made use of them in the kitchen and the garden! They snip through chicken bones in the kitchen, and make quick work of cutting through lobster shell. In the garden they are perfect for cutting veggies with thick stems. They are easier to get into tight spaces than my garden shears or pruners.<br /><br />Get one for each area; kitchen, garden and goats!

We recently got a pygmy goat. We have no experience with trimming hooves at all, but these made the job super easy. They seemed well suited for the job and am so glad I made this purchase.
