Leather used in Seggys.

Was it stronger than cow leather?

In general goat leather is very tear resistant, but obviously not as thick as cow can potentially be. If you get really thick and well tanned goat leather (and cut it correctly) I'm sure it would be ok for use with a seg.
Btw. veg tanned leather (from any one given animal) is not necessarily one and the same product - depending on what you want to use the leather for, different tanning agents and methods are employed. They'd still all be called veg tanned leather. You can have e.g. bovine veg tanned leathers with completely different properties (stiffness, water absorbancy/resistence, stretch etc.).

Should I get out drinking Beer more?

Talk to your local brewer :-)
