So the farmers can find them again.
In the spring, after the snow melts, the cows are herded up into the mountains and feed on the mountain meadow grass all summer. This land is all 'common land' (owned by the village) and all the farmers send their cows to the villages land.
In Autumn, the farmers have to get the cows back down to the valley before the snow starts. The bells allow the farmers to find the cows even if they are out of sight behind a rock, in a small valley or wherever.
