The Hérens is a breed of cattle native to the Valais region in Switzerland. Known for their strength and endurance, these animals are primarily used for dairy production and are recognized for their high-quality milk, which is often used to make cheese. Hérens cattle are characterized by their dark brown to black coats and robust build. They are also famous for their traditional practice of cow fighting, where females compete in a non-lethal manner to establish hierarchy within the herd. This unique behavior is a cultural tradition in the region.
