Cow Fight

Jeremy Vickers Photography has added a photo to the pool:

Cow Fight

On our descent down to Grimentz we came across a cow fight. Apparently this has become part of the traditional cattle procession up to the mountain pastures. The short and stocky black cows go head-to-head and push each other until one gives up.

The eventual winner is honoured with the title, "Queen of the Cows", and is rewarded with the best area of alpine pasture to graze on for the summer.
