To collar or to NOT collar?

I personally dont collar...but its up to you..there are safe alternatives out there if you want. I have a face harnus and lead...and I need someone..I just go get em! Thats all...and they really dont like to be lead by the neck anyway...I have a few that I dont even have to rope..I just put my hand on thier head and they follow...and I said a few...LOL

We collar all our goats with cheap cat collars from the dollar store. The plastic is so cheap if you tug on them they break. In 5 years we have lost a few collars but never a goat because the collars aren't sturdy enough to hang anyone.

I use those cheap collars too. My goats get their first collar at around a week old, which is when I start training them to walk on a leash and behave in public. I never have a problem with them, but my goats are in chain link pens and we have no trees.
