Funny, I guess my goats are just too rough with collars. It's sad about your goat's collar accident. Did your nylon collar have a plastic breakaway clip? My goats have gotten hung up several times with nylon collars, but the clips have always broken under stress. I use really flimsy ones for the babies, but the bucks' collars have heavy duty plastic clips. They've still managed to break them a few times--bucks are awfully hard on equipment! My pack wethers and milk does all wear leather collars and they're very tough but will break in an emergency. I've had to replace a few over the years but not many. The leather collars look really nice and are very gentle on their neck hair, which I like. Nylon tends to wear a bald spot after a while.
