After a depressing meeting with some of the county officials regarding budget restraints for next year, I took a ride out ot my friends place.
They now have most of their reindeer in a feedlot close to their cabin – in preparation for welcoming European tourists. Germans and Italians are especially intrigued by being able to almost handfeed some of the reindeer. This has been a good winter for them so far – not that much snow and above all there is no icy layer at the bottom. It’s too early for the females to start showing, so the fact that they all were quite rotund must mean they’ve been eating well all along.
