According to Biquette’s caretaker at a communal Ferme de Mauriac, the goat spent her first five years (probably ca. 2003–2008) at a milking factory before being handed over to Mauriac because “it was cheaper than a slaughterhouse”.[1] Biquette rose to popularity in early 2012 first, with photos and recordings of the band Wormrot’s concert in Mauriac, with Biquette in the front row. BuzzFeed dubbed Biquette “Punk Rock Goat”,[2] and Metal Insider called her photo “one of the best images in metal”.[3] According to the Wormrot’s manager, Biquette was very tame, and followed the band around “like a dog”.[4] The caretaker of Biquette, named Flo, said in an interview that the goat loved concerts and other gatherings of people and theorized that she liked the vibrations of the wooden floor caused by the live music. Flo also added that Biquette loved stealing cigarettes and cigarette butts, leftover alcohol, paint and oil drains.[1] On December 9, 2013, Biquette’s Facebook fan page alleged to the goat passing away,[5] with Flo clarifying in a January 2014 interview that the cause of death was “a big mystery” and adding that given a 20-year average lifespan of a milking goat, Biquette “burned the candle at both ends” of her 10 years of life.[3]

All the cigarettes, booze, paint, and oil probably didn’t help.
Mosh pits can be brutal. You should see the other guy.
She’s a goat, that’s well within their normal diet
Fucking Wormrot! Holy shit I had no idea they had a goat. Great fucking band.
I mean she literally ate cigarettes
Well who hasn’t done that at a punk rock concert?
Lmao hell yeah
Of course this is a French thing.
She lived 10 years in total, 4 years on a milk farm. Normal goat life-span is about 20 years
The Queen is gone, but she’s not forgotten
This is the story of a goat gone awesome
It’s better to burn out

Biquette is gone, but she’s not forgotten
Hey hey baah baah
She was watching grindcore bands on a milk farm?
No, that was during the 6 years of eating cigarette butts and drinking beer
After that she got clean?
She wanted to be an Architect
You know I always wanted to be an architect
goat’s livin’ a better life than me
Biquette was punk af.
She did her part to tear down the patriarchy and lived her best life. What the fuck am I doing with my life if a goat is more hardcore than I am?
What a sheep.
Paying bills.
Underground bands in Czechoslovakia would organize illegal concerts in barns. The goat would have loved it!
