What's The Cow Bell For?

I read that the great state of Florida was working on passing legislature to outlaw the bull *****, based on some kind of decency or indecency thing... so maybe it is more tasteful to some to have a cow bell???
Otherwise, maybe for the practical side if you loose your truck you can listen for the cow bell? (or Goat bell)

Now days the bells don't mean anything much. In the old days you put the bell on the lead cow in the heard so the rest would get used to followin him and then when you needed to herd them up you just rang the bell and they followed you. I used to hang one off my trailer cause some of the old guys I hauled for still used this method and when I would drive out to the catch pins the cattle would follow the bell right inside.
But in these modern times very few of them you see are there for anything but looks. Everybody wants to be Redneck and a Cowboy. I don't know when being called one of the two turned into a compliment but it wasn't to many years ago they were both used as insults. Those weren't good things to be known as.
Also forgot to mention that if you had a particularly nasty bull in the pasture you put one on him to. Just so you could hear him comin when he was sneakin up behind ya.
