Swiss Bell
Product Details
This traditional, Swiss-style bell is made of solid brass and is hand cast in the pattern of the famous 1878 Saignélegier Chiantel Fondeur design. It produces a bright sound that's pleasant to the ear.
Bells have been used for centuries to track and herd sheep, goats and cattle in the timber, brush, large pastures or open range. Attach the bell to the neck of sheep and goats using a bell collar.

I had purchased several of the tin plated bells over the years which all rust and seem to fall apart often. This one is solid and can hear it chime from the back pasture. I'm getting me another.

I didn't buy this bell from Premier, but have a couple from somewhere else. I have quite a few bells of different types on my sheep. I run my sheep in rough, brushy terrain and the bells really help me locate them when I can't see them. Of all bells I've used, these are my favorites. The are very well made compared to the cheaper ones. While so many other bells get broken, I can imagine these becoming an heirloom. Their tone is higher pitched with more ring to it, so it carries further and is easier to hear in the wind than the lower quality bells. Well worth the purchase price when they last ten times a long.
