Buttermilk Sky is a young Nigerian Dwarf goat and the subject of a video that went viral after it was posted to YouTube on 27 July 2012.[1] The video was taken at Took A Leap Farm, a hobby farm in Houlton, Maine.[2] The video was posted on 27 July with the caption, "Buttermilk 'plays' with her 'friends'". Buttermilk Sky is seen running animatedly about in a grassy clearing while three other goats of similar size and age look on. On several occasions she jumps up, even hopping over other goats and accosting a human observer. At one point she leaps up and knocks another goat down, an act which has sparked criticism from some Internet commentators for its apparently wilful nature.[1][3] The goat's owner said that critics "were going a little far" in their censure of Buttermilk after commentators called her a "jerk" and an "asshole".[1] The video has received over seven million views on YouTube, has been commented on by Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, and has been featured on The Today Show.[4]
Buttermilk Sky is part of Took a Leap's dairy goat herd.[5] She was born at Took a Leap Farm on 17 June 2012[6] (one of the last kids born this year at the farm[7]) and was five weeks old when the video was taken in July 2012. Her colour is described as "chamoisee with white belt".[6] According to her owners, Buttermilk Sky is known for her energy; however, the kicking was a first-time occurrence, which was caught on video by chance.[4]
One of Buttermilk's owners commented that, before the video went viral, she had pledged to donate $25 to Farm Sanctuary, a not-for-profit animal welfare group, should it receive more than one thousand views. Afterwards, she suggested that a collaborative publicity campaign with Farm Sanctuary was being considered, to take advantage of the attention Buttermilk has received.[4]
