Tom & Jerry

Tom and Jerry came to Green Chimneys after they were seized from their previous home due to neglectful conditions. Thankfully, the animal control officer thought of Green Chimneys and brought them here the same morning. They are an Alpine breed of goat, originating in the French Alps, so they are extremely mobile and great jumpers! Alpine goats are also traditionally heavy milkers, and the milk can be made into butter, cheese, soap, ice cream or any other dairy product normally made from cow\’s milk.
