I have some I need to cut, what is the easiest way to do it.
It is really strong.

Bed-spring wire cutters or bolt croppers.

Palustris

Or the special tool which is used for erecting wire fencing, combined cutter, hammer and pliars. Or a sharp hacksaw, BUT wear gauntlets!
Gardening is the great leveller.

How do you cut barbed wire? Carefully! ;)

I use a pair of loppers.

Junior hacksaw will do.

If you're using a hacksaw, just cut half way through and bend the cut to break it off.
You'll save a lot of time.  :D

Thanks for the advice I used a hacksaw and it was really easy.

Farmers. foresters use Felco wirecutters for high tension wire or small bolt croppers, or an item called a fencing tool that also has a claw that can be used to prize staples out with the help of a hammer.
