Have always used a collar to tie a goat. If using a picket, which I like, rope needs to be large bore and slightly stiff so it cannot easily strangle a leg. High lining can be tough if the tie off points are not where you need them. With the high-line there is a concern of strangling trees. In Wyoming you have to protect the tree from the rope. This likely came about from high-lining several horses at a time on one rope. Seems a bit odd to me but they take it seriously.
