Gävlebocken did not survive 2025

The goat was inaugurated on the 30th november 2025 and stood until the afternoon of the 27th december when it toppled over from the strong winds of the storm Johannes. I think this is a new fate for the goat, it has previously collapsed (in 1972 and 1975) but as far as I can tell it has never been due to high winds before.

As much as I love the destruction of the GOAT

do you know if there's an official merch store or something to give money to it?

I mean you could go to gävle and support the city and its businesses, that's kinda the original intention behind the goat, to draw attention and publicity to the city. There's plenty of merch of gävlebocken out there but no the city of gävle do not have an official merch store for it.

I was explaining to goat to my dad the other day and it make me realize something... what DO they do with all that straw on years the goat doesn't burn? I imagine it might be a bit moldy from being out in the snow and rain, so I feel like my dad's suggestion of feeding it to livestock

oh youre gonna like this... they burn it. in a press release i think last year they said that it gets 'energy recycled' after it gets taken down, in other words its burned in an incinerator for electricity generation or heating.

it also says so on their faq page
