Calfmarking
The tundra
End of august - Mid September
This is one of the biggest events in Sami culture, and one of our favorite times.
At this time our herd is mixed with several other herds, and we will all work together to have thousands of reindeers pass through a fence.
During this time we will give all the new calves their traditional earmarks, and every animal will also be checked and vaccinated.
This is a special time where we spend everyday with the animals, while also being surrounded in beautiful nature.
There will be time to explore the special nature around.
Our campsite is next to a river filled with arctic char.
What to expect?
