choose the toe shear that works best for you.  Magic toe shear is the most popular for small herds or just a few animals as it is the most economical.  the green handle toe shears have the same cutting power of the magic shears but with an ergonomic handle for easier use.  The mini power shear has extra cutting power for larger herds and small hands and the standard red toe shear is the large, heavy duty shear when you are really serious about doing a lot of animals quickly.
