fighting bull

Matador's horned adversary

A fighting bull is a bull bred specifically for bullfighting, selected for aggression, strength, and willingness to charge.

These cattle come from particular Spanish and Portuguese lineages developed over centuries for the ring.

The term distinguishes them from bulls raised for meat or breeding: The ranch produces fighting bulls for arenas throughout Spain.
