Sheep wear bells in Spain and elsewhere so that they can be found more easily. When the sheep move, the bell jingles which helps when you are trying to locate one or more sheep.

The sheep that wears the bell around her neck is the "leader" of that herd. The bell signals for the other sheep to follow her lead. These bells are known as cow bells.
