1. An animal marking control system for marking an animal comprising:
at least one transceiver communicatively coupled to a remote base station and configured to exchange data with the remote base station, the transceiver having a plurality of operation modes, each of the operation modes defining a respective frequency of communication of the transceiver with the remote base station;
a marker unit configured to selectively mark the animal; and
a processing circuitry configured to:
cause activation of the transceiver at a first operation mode of the operation modes, wherein in the first operation mode the transceiver communicates with the remote base station in a first frequency of communication;
receive an indication of a marking need from the remote base station;
upon receipt of the indication of a marking need, cause activation of the transceiver at a second operation mode of the operation modes, wherein in the second operation mode the transceiver communicates with the remote base station in a second frequency of communication;
receive marker unit activation instructions; and
upon receipt of the marker unit activation instructions, activate the marker unit.
