This year, Gävlebocken has a completely new look, which also P4 Gävleborg reported on.
It has happened on several occasions that someone lit the Gävlebocken so that it burned up. This has led to the introduction of fences and camera surveillance around the goat for several years, so that people will leave it alone.

The gable goat has a new look
This year, however, the famous goat has a new look. This is due to the summer’s extreme heat with long drought. It has had some unexpected consequences.
– What is a little different this year is that it has been a bit of a difficult harvest, because the straw is not quite of the same quality. So it’s lucky that the goat builders have experience because the straws have been a little shorter, says Gävlebocken’s spokesperson Anna-Karin Niemann to P4 Gävleborg.
So this year it is a slightly more short-cut Gävlebock that spreads the Christmas spirit in Gävle.
