Sheep near Shanaveg, County Galway, Ireland.

Farmers “paint” their sheep for identification. ... When mating, the ram mounts the ewe and a bit of dye is deposited on the ewe's upper back. This way, the farmer knows which ewes have been impregnated and moves them on to another field away from the ram. It is also used to identify different farmers herds and which have been vaccinated.
