It started with the Houlton jumping goat.

Of course.

After all, who could resist Buttermilk Sky, the happy, 5-week-old dwarf goat with the adorable bleat and feisty feet? If viral videos had a handbook, her minute on camera would tick all of the boxes: cute baby animals (check), good-natured antics (check), someone falling over funnily (check, check).

I never thought a lot about baby goats and their cuteness-quotient, but thanks to Buttermilk I would now rank them somewhere between a pile of sleepy golden retriever puppies and a grumpy bunny. So, high.

I also never thought a lot about goat products. But thanks to Buttermilk, I started to ponder that as well. Goat cheese? Goat yarn? Goatee? (I kid!) Turns out goat products aren’t all that easy to find in Lewiston-Auburn. But I persevered.

Got milk? I got your goat.

* Vermont Creamery goat cheese, 4 ounces, Axis Natural Foods, $4.06

Classic chevre, the package says. Chevre being French for goat. Not to be confused with cheval, which is French for horse. Horse cheese just sounds wrong.

* Tourmaline Hill Farm non-pasteurized goat milk, Axis Natural Foods, $8.79/gallon

Raw goat milk fresh from Greenwood. Mmm, Greenwood. 

* Meyenberg powdered goat milk, Axis Natural Foods, $4.69

Add water and this 4-ounce packet will make a quart of goat milk. Gluten-free, kosher and perfect for cooking a batch of goat milk yogurt. Who doesn’t want to do that on a Saturday afternoon?

* Ella Rae Mocha yarn, 72 yards, Craft-Mania, $4.99

Granted, this yarn is only 15 percent kid mohair, but it’s also 15 percent camel, which means you can get your goat fix and your camel fix all in one sweater. Huzzah!

* “The Year of the Goat: 40,000 Miles and the Quest for the Perfect Cheese” by Margaret Hathaway, Ten Apple Farm, $15 plus shipping

Not a book made by goats, no, but it is about goats. Written by Margaret Hathaway with photos from her husband, Karl Schatz, the book chronicles the couple’s cross-country travel in search of a new life as goat farmers and the perfect goat cheese. Spoiler alert: Since you can buy this book from the website of their goat farm in Gray, one has to imagine they found said new life and said cheese. Just guessing.

Best find: Buttermilk the Goat T-shirts, all sizes, Took a Leap Farm, $14.95 to $21.95, plus shipping

From Took a Leap Farm, the aptly named home of Buttermilk, the newly famous jumping goat. Shirts come in a variety of colors and sizes, from kid (ha!) to 4XL adult, and though they’re made of cotton and not goat fiber, they do feature a big goat photo with the caption “Pushover for Buttermilk.” According to the farm owner’s blog, $2 from each shirt will go to a pair of Houlton-area animal rescue groups. Look good, have fun, help a charity. Who knew a little goat could do so much?

Think twice: Before getting a goat of your own

It’s all fun and games until somebody gets pushed over. No, wait. Even then it’s still fun. But for that little black and white goat in the video, someone might want to consider goat armor.
