By a week old the calf is able to follow the mother all the time. Some calves are ear tagged soon after birth, especially those that are stud cattle in order to correctly identify their dams (mothers), or in areas (such as the EU) where tagging is a legal requirement for cattle.
Providence Plantations was an American colony of English settlers founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, a theologian, independent preacher, and linguist on land taken by the Narragansett sachem, Canonicus.
There, Roger Williams purchased land from two Indian chiefs. He received a charter for the colony of Rhode Island from the king of England in 1644. He became a well-known peacemaker between the natives and the colonists. Williams lived to be an old man, but his last years were troubled by land and boundary disputes.
