The Reindeers

Back to Index

If a reindeer has a loose antler the Nenets have to cut off. Underneath the snow there can be some nutrious lichen for the Reindeers. Sometimes the Reindeers get mixed up with the main herd so the nenets remeber the reindeers' faces.

There are around 2,000 reindeers in the semi domestic herd and the main herd is around 7,000 reindeers. The nenets send more or less 1,000 reindeers to the slaughter house. Only half of the semi domestic herd get to migrate to the migration place. The average time for the migration is 5 months

Did you know that the reindeers are essential to the nenets. The reindeers provide food, clothes and also profits.
