Berkane, the cow, left, and Bergamote battle for the title of 'Queen' in Grimetz in the Swiss Alps. Judges record every fight as spectators sit on the surrounding mountainside, sipping local wine and cheering their family herd.
Cows fight during the "Combats des Reines" (Battle of the Queens), a traditional cow fight held annually in the western Alpine canton of Valais, in Aproz, Switzerland. Members of this bovine family fight against themselves to establish a hierarchy within the herd. During the combat the cows simply push, forehead against forehead.
