The Valle d’Aosta breed cows, the red and the black spotted, are animals with a strong lively and warlike temperament, it is a habit for these animals to fight in fights within the herd in order to establish a hierarchy among the cows. This natural attitude of the cows, together with the passion of the breeders, gave rise to the Batailles de Reines, bloodless and instinctive battles for the cows whose purpose is to celebrate a “Queen” in a natural way.
