Holy Cow!

We know QR codes can be encountered virtually everywhere these days, from roofs to beer mugs, but now these black and white designs have appeared on livestock.

The QR code on the cow directs users to this site: www.thisisdairyfarming.com.

That’s right. Some farmers across the pond recently spray-painted a QR code on a cow in an attempt to enlist awareness about dairy farming, reports the tech-site Geek o System in Overly Optimistic Farmers Paint QR Code on Cow to Raise Awareness.

The farmers are calling it “Moo-bile” technology, and the code reportedly directs users to this site: www.thisisdairyfarming.com/.

PETA will be relieved to know that no cows were harmed in the painting; the report says the code was applied using a special water-soluble spray paint, or “spray-chalk.”

In another unique use of spray paint, a Scottish council is “cracking down on dog fouling” by painting dog poo bright pink, BBC News reports.
