What types of bull are fought in Andalusian bullfighting?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Cattle The Spanish Fighting Bull (Toro Bravo, toro de lidia, toro lidiado, ganado bravo, Touro de Lide) is an Iberian cattle breed. It is primarily bred free-range on extensive estates in Southern Spain, Portugal and Latin American countries where bull fighting is organized. Fighting bulls are selected primarily for a certain combination of aggressiveness, strength, vigor and intelligence: a smart bull that would not ram blindly could be too dangerous, an idle bull would make no spectacle, a bull without stamina could not last the whole three phases of the corrida and too strong a bull would require so much weakening work that the matador could not show his ability. A fighting cattle is born on specialized ranches and raised by its mother until one year old, after which it is separated from the mother regardless of gender. Afterwards it is branded and kept in single sex group
