What's happening now?

The reindeer rest this time of the year. With temperatures near 90 everyday, our field stone barn is a great place to escape from the heat.  We feed them around 7am each morning.  They come out of the barn, eat, and graze.  Soon after, they all go back to the barn and lay on the cool floor in front of the fans until later in the day. We feed again around 7pm. After their evening visit with us, they usually sleep outside.  All seven stay together, sometimes separated by fence when they can't be in the same pen, but they get comfort being in the same area.   Jeff and I enjoy going for walks with the reindeer, however only when the weather permits.

Everyone is still in velvet.  That will end soon, with Prancer, our bull going into rut within the next couple weeks.  He's been bulking up all summer, up to about 450 lbs. The first sign will be shedding of his velvet, then we have a couple days to prepare for rut.

We have two calves that are still on bottles.  Vixen and PJ get two bottles a day now.
