Dairy goats in Belgium

August 29, 2019 -- After the COMPAR conference in Ghent, we/I visited two dairy goat farms. One had 1100 does and was organic. The other had about 200 and made and marketed their own cheese. The goats were kept indoors on both farms. The door was kept open at one of the farms so the goats could go outside (they didn't much).
