This is interesting Lori.  My vet, who very recently had a "guided" tour
thru the facility (we live about an hour and a half away), was told by MF
that the back foot tattoo was their record of who took care of that
particular litter and who did the medical work on it; a quality control
measure.  The distributor angle was never mentioned however, it does make
sense I suppose.
