However, <strong>from around 1820 onwards, breeders began to select specific colours for their bulls<\/strong>. Since then, each breeder has chosen the colours according to personal preference.<\/p>\n<p>One example is <strong>Jes\u00fas Gil<\/strong>, former president of Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid, who owned the <strong>Valdeolivas breeding ranch<\/strong> together with his son and chose the red and white colours of his football club. Other ranches, such as <strong>Guadalmena<\/strong>, opted for the colours of the Spanish flag, while <strong>Daniel Ramos<\/strong>, a breeder from Valencia, selected colours that reminded him of his homeland, such as the blue of the sea or the orange of the region\u2019s most emblematic fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Other breeders, instead of creating a new ranch from scratch, acquire a historic <em>hierro<\/em> (the branding iron that identifies a ranch) and usually respect both the shape of the <em>pial<\/em> (the association mark) and the colours of the <em>divisa<\/em>, due to the prestige involved in being at the head of such a well-established lineage. This was the case with <strong>Victorino Mart\u00edn<\/strong> when he purchased the Albaserrada ranch, or <strong>Tico Morales<\/strong> when he acquired the cattle and rights to the iconic <strong>Pablo Romero<\/strong> breeding ranch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The <em>divisa<\/em> consists of an iron harpoon to which one or more coloured ribbons identifying the ranch are attached.<\/strong> In some bullrings, such as La Maestranza in Seville or Vista Alegre in Bilbao, it was traditional for the ribbons to be arranged in a circular shape in the same colours as the <em>divisa<\/em>, with the harpoon placed in the centre. This circular arrangement is known as the <em>mo\u00f1a<\/em> (a decorative rosette of ribbons).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8431be e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e8431be\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d16cd0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d16cd0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/explicacion-mona.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10815\" alt=\"La Mo\u00f1a\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/explicacion-mona.jpg 990w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/explicacion-mona-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/explicacion-mona-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">La mo\u00f1a<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4369846 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4369846\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1edf123 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1edf123\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Most <em>divisas<\/em> consist of two colours. However, some ranches use only one colour, such as <strong>Fuente Ymbro<\/strong> (green), <strong>Jandilla<\/strong> (blue), <strong>Parlad\u00e9<\/strong> (yellow) or the Portuguese ranch <strong>Ortig\u00e3o Costa<\/strong> (red). There are several <em>divisas<\/em> with three colours, and only one well-known example with four colours: that of <strong>Marcos N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/strong> \u2014 crimson, gold, green and black.<\/p>\n<p>As a curiosity, the <strong>Miura breeding ranch uses a green and red <em>divisa<\/em> in provincial bullrings, and green and black in Madrid.<\/strong> This is because the first time Miura bulls were fought in Madrid, their <em>divisa<\/em> coincided with that of an older ranch, <strong>Pl\u00e1cido Comesa\u00f1a<\/strong>, forcing the Seville-based breeder to change the colours. Nowadays, however, many ranches share the same <em>divisa<\/em> colours, and their bulls are distinguished by the design of the <em>hierro<\/em> with which they are branded.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>divisa<\/em> is placed just before the bull enters the arena. This is a high-risk task due to the proximity of the animal and its likely reaction once it feels the iron. For this reason, in most cases the <em>mayoral<\/em> (the head stockman of the bullring) or another member of the bullring staff carries out this task from above the pens, either from the passage connecting the <em>toriles<\/em> (the gates leading to the arena) or even from inside the <em>chiquero<\/em>. However, in some bullrings in France, such as Vic-Fezensac or Eauze, the operator stands in the <em>callej\u00f3n<\/em> (the passageway between the arena and the stands), next to the <em>puerta de toriles<\/em>, and drives the harpoon with the ribbons into the bull\u2019s neck at the very moment the animal steps onto the sand.<\/p>\n<p>It is then that the bullfight begins, and the bull honours its ancestors by proudly displaying, in those first powerful charges, the colours of the lineage to which it belongs.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to know the colours of the <em>divisas<\/em> used by all fighting bull breeding ranches, you can consult in <span style=\"color: #fa38c9;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #fa38c9;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.servitoro.com\/en\/14-fighting-bull-ranches\">Servitoro<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ad0a1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1ad0a1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.servitoro.com\/en\/14-fighting-bull-ranches\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganaderias-toros-de-lidia-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10839\" alt=\"Ganader\u00edas toros de lidia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganaderias-toros-de-lidia-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganaderias-toros-de-lidia-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganaderias-toros-de-lidia-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganaderias-toros-de-lidia-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganaderias-toros-de-lidia-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganaderias-toros-de-lidia-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganaderias-toros-de-lidia.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Divisas of All Fighting Bull Ranches<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16c3b7c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"16c3b7c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\">Everyone sees it when a bull enters the arena, but very few people know its real purpose.
