The bell is a bit larger than I anticipated but the quality is awesome.

I have 4 bells. Only time I’ve had any problem is when one of the goats managed to remove her clapper. Luckily we reattached it and haven’t had any problems since. They make a soothing sound as they move slowly across the field. The kids always can hear their mothers, and my son likes to open his window at night to listen to them jostling slowly at night like wind chimes. When they are upset or running, you definitely know and can look in on them.

Clapper fell out after a few months. Seems well made, but of no use without the clapper.

The bells were a gift to my wife for our Katahdin sheep. The weight, quality, and sound of them is so beautiful. We love them and the sheep got used to them very fast.

Love the bell’s sound!!! BUT the clapper needs much improvement. I purchased in November and by March started loosing clappers. Premier 1 replaced the bells for free but the clapper needs to be improved.
I run 20 bells on my flock (95 head).
I do love the sound of this bell! I have grassy fields, not rough things for the bells to catch on.
Just know the clapper does not last!
