That said, regular conditioning with a quality leather care product will extend its life in harsh ranching environments and keep it looking sharp for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Will this breastcollar work for team roping or just steer roping?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it's specifically engineered for the high-torque demands of steer roping and tripping, many team ropers and breakaway competitors also use it when they need maximum saddle stability. The doubled leather and blood knot construction handle repeated hard stops and backward pulls better than standard collars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Saddlery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47560727986397,"sku":"BC200SRH","price":143.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/martin-saddlery-2-inch-steer-roper-breastcollar-heavy-duty-leather-for-performance-durability-and-secure-fit-bc200srh.webp?v=1773180031","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/martin-saddlery-2-inch-steer-roper-breastcollar","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
