Most cow bells were (and are) made from metal, not wood. Sounds from metal travels a lot farther than sounds from wood. But basically, a wooden cow bell serves the same purpose as metal cow bells: for a farmer to easily locate where the cow went, since most cows in the mountain regions are never confined to fenced areas.

Are cow bells used to keep cows on the move?
No. If that would happen cows would be running around like crazy and never get any time to eat or rest. No, cow bells are used as a low-tech location device for farmers if their cows ever got out or moved away from the pasture she was supposed to stay in. Cow bells are very common in the Swiss Alps because there are no fences in the mountain meadows and cows are free to roam as they please.

Why wooden bells are used at Good Friday services?
Roman Catholic AnswerThey are not wooden bells, they are called clappers, they are a wooden instrument that, when shaken, makes a knocking noise. All through Lent we "lose" things, the organ, flowers on the altar. A lot of this is not required anymore, but statues and crucifixes used to be covered in violet or black cloth, etc. We finally lost the bells themselves, which are replaced by clappers, and then everything is restored at the Easter Vigil when Jesus Christ, Himself, restored to life, restores our life at the resurrection!
