A different kind of branding.

A company called Somark Innovations has successfully tested RFID tattoos on cows, mice and rats:

The system developed by Somark uses an array of needles to quickly inject a pattern of dots into each animal, with the pattern changing for each injection. This pattern can then be read from over a meter away using a proprietary reader operating at high frequency.

This allows traditional branding of cattle, while minimizing pain and cosmetic damage.
