After a busy career in Camargue racing, the best cocardiers bulls end their lives in freedom. When they die, a stele can be erected, and a statue is sometimes even built during the lifetime of the bull in recognition of its exploits. During its carrier, the bull is rewarded, just like the raseteur, by numerous prizes, including the Biou d'Or. This prize is awarded to the best cocardier by the entire bullfighting community over a season. It represents the supreme quest for breeders for whom it constitutes the ultimate recognition.
