Back right foot means ferrets >went through Colorado on their journey to wherever. 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.
