Swiss Bell
Traditional, Swiss-style, solid brass bell.
Hand cast in the pattern of the famous 1878 Saignélegier Chiantel Fondeur design, bells have been used for centuries to track and herd sheep, goats and cattle in the timber, brush, large pastures or open range.
Produces a bright sound that’s pleasant to the ear. (Most ears!)

I have had this on a nylon collar all summer and it is still there. I bought a steel bell to go with to tell what sheep were where. Nice higher pitch and is just as loud as the steel bell with an easy to discern difference. Fits nicely on my Katahdin ewes.

Very pretty and nice sounding bell.

These bells have the sweetest sound, it's like hearing Christmas bells all year long. We are using them to help the guardian dogs keep track of the ewes and hopefully help keep the coyotes at bay.
