Switzerland breeds cows for cow fights

on
Herens
It seems that cows are not only domesticated for producing milk or as a food source.
Two Herens cows lock horns during the annual 'Battle of the Queens' cow fight finals in Aproz in the western Alpine canton of Valais May 17, 2007. Members of this bovine family are very robust and possess the singular characteristic of fighting among themselves to establish a hierarchy within the herd. At the 'Battle of the Queens' finals in Aproz hordes of spectators follow the fights of some 159 cows competing in five categories, according to their weight and age.

Are these cows or bulls?

Frankly speaking, they do look like those seen in Spain's bull fighting!
