Cowbell
A cowbell (or cow bell) is a bell that is placed around the neck of animals that roam freely. This helps farmers or shepherds hear the bell to find the animal when it is eating grass and cannot be seen, such as in hilly areas or large open fields. Although they are often called “cow bells” because they are used a lot with cows, these bells are also used on many different types of animals.
