Buttermilk Sky
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] In the video, Buttermilk Sky is seen running and leaping around other goats. At one point she leaps up and knocks another goat down, an act for which she has been criticised.[2] The video has received over one million views on Youtube, and has been featured on The Today Show.[3]
According to her owners, Buttermilk Sky is known for her energy. However, the kicking is a first-time occurrence which was caught on video by chance.[3] 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. She has mentioned the possibility of a collaboration with Farm Sanctuary to take advantage of the attention Buttermilk has received.[3]
