Great idea with the baby monitor and that the kid was okay.
We at first had dog collars on our goats until another goat owner mentioned breakaway collars in case they get it stuck on something. So, I got the breakaway plastic link collars and had them for a few months. My husband and I were outside watching the goats. Two goats were headbutting and the tip of one doe's horn got caught in the gap of one link and it wasn't breaking. As she was trying to free her horn, she was tightening the collar on the other goat so we quickly intervened and all was fine.
Had that been a day when we were at work, I bet we would have had at least one dead goat. Some animals are just kamikazes (or idiots).
