so they won't get lost

so the farmer, or in my case, my dogs can find the poor thing.. it is also good to warn cars (if the windows are down) if they are on the moooove, or my neighbors... if she is in their yard again, lol.
Deer and other critters can bend or break the fences, so they escape every now and then.. sometimes the batteries get bumped or quit, yadda yadda and they can get out.-
plus, it is just kind of pleasant, the way some people like buoy bells. AND they really ring like mad if something is in the field bothering them (stray dog, coyote nearby) and it warns the dogs that they are agitated... aside from the lowing...
not a joke, but it is the real reason.... god i must be bored-lol!

Its a thing they used to do in bygone days. They were the milking cows and they wanted to know where they were in case the got lost or in trouble from stray dogs. You protect you food source.

If thr cows don't return to the barn for milking,the farmer has to go find them. Usually only one or two will wear the bell.

Adrain: That's awful!
Rocky: I used to crack everyone up with that in the third grade with that one.

So you can find them when they wander off, or also, you can use it as an indicator of something going on, if all the bells ringing.

I would have to say so that their owners can hear which direction they are in when they can't see them and to be able to find them easier. It just helps them to know where they are and to locate them easier this way.

So the farmers can find them when they wander off looking for better grass.

Because they wouldn't know if they got a phone call without them.

It sounds funny, but it is actually to help ranchers find them easily.

If sheep wore them they would be called sheep bells.
