Did You Know?
Cows have horns (the body part) while cars have horns (for honking)! Cowbells help farmers locate their cattle in fields. Not all cows have horns - some breeds are naturally hornless (polled). Cowbells have been used for thousands of years in pastoral farming. The bells create a distinctive sound that carries across valleys. Swiss cowbells are particularly famous and can weigh over 10 pounds!
