For dominance rights. Cows have what is called a "pecking order" system where one cow is the leader and the others are followers. Who gets to be second or third-best to the leader and who deserves to be at the bottom of the totem pole is sorted out by head-butting and a little fighting. This mainly will occur between cattle that are being introduced into a herd, or two herds that have been separated for some time that are being put together again.
