Manhattan, left, and Altesse fight during the final of the annual Battle of the Queens of the Herens breed cows fight in Aproz, Switzerland. During the combat the cows simply push forehead against forehead using their horns. The competition continues until the new queen has forced all the other leaders to retreat. Cow fighting is an ancient tradition in Switzerland. The first official fight was organized in 1923. Altesse won the title of "Queen of the queen" after defeating Manhattan.
