*-- Its origin can be traced to free-roaming animals. In order to help
identify the herd to which these animals belonged, herdsmen placed these bells
around the animal's neck. As the animals moved about the bell would ring, thus
making it easier to know of the animal's whereabouts. Though the bells were
used on various types of animals, they are typically referred to as "cowbells"
due to their extensive use with cattle. --*
