Our Detailed Review of Jeffers® Foot Rot Shears

Jeffers Foot Rot Shears Review
While this brand of hoof shears is well made and durable, we found them to be more difficult to maneuver and they tend to dull more rapidly than the orange-handled shear magic hoof trimmers which we preferred. The advantage of the Jeffers brand trimmers comes down to cost - you can purchase several of these hoof trimmers for the same price as a higher-rated pair - a fact which can offset the fact that they dull more quickly.

The design of the Jeffers® Foot Rot Shears is traditional - for a long time this is the same design that was used on farms around the world due to its long-lasting, durable nature. Made with quality materials, if you store these foot rot shears in a dry place and clean them regularly, savvy shepherds can grind and re-sharpen them to keep them sharp and effective for years. These hoof shears aren't quite as good for youth or for shepherds with small hands and the straight design of the larger blades can be a challenge to maneuver and use on lambs, sheep with smaller hooves or sheep suffering from foot rot whose hooves have started to soften and deteriorate. Still - for the price we found these to be an effective and reliable choice for a shepherd on a budget. They will get the job done on most farms where you aren't trimming a high number of hooves each year.
