Farmers or cattlemen brand there cattle for ID. The owners intials with a number are the normal brand. Some brands differ. Registered cattle have to be branded upon registering the animal.

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.

Are farmers changing the way they kill cows for meat?

Don't start blaming the farmers! It's the MEAT PACKERS that determine the way cows are killed for beef. So no, it is not the farmers that are changing their ways: it's the slaughter plants that are (presumably) changing the ways cows are killed, though I don't see what their changing in the first place.
