Yesterday my father and I were out (together with a couple of more guys) and gathered reindeer on about 90 km2 area (should be about 22.000 acres). We got the luxury help of a helicopter also! I do believe that we gathered between three and four thousands of head on the entire day which was a good number.
Because of the fact that the snow finally arrived, we’ll be stepping into the busy season. Under the entire winter season we’ve got plenty of work. I know for sure that this is the favorite season for our dogs as well, unfortunately there’s not much for them to do on summers. Below is a picture of my US imported female Bitzi… 🙂
We also found a couple of reindeers stuck in the ice (which is kinda usual at this time a year). Together we got them up, so these two were lucky! 😀
