Title: Cow Collars and Bells
Post by: oor wullie on March 14, 2016, 06:55:18 am

Does anyone know where to buy alpine style collars and bells for cattle?

All I can find on the internet is fancy decorative bells and dog collars.

Even my Swiss friend was unsure where to get them from.

goat nutrition used to have bells different sizes looks like just small ones now

Took me a while to find the collars on the Shearwell site, so to save others the trouble, here's the link (http://www.shearwell.co.uk/c/1175/collars-for-cattle)
