Reindeer ranchers had a busy holiday season.

Reindeer Games in Erin, Jeff and Cindy Phillips work year-round to manage everything from the spring calving, to the fall rut to ensure their herd is ready.

Jeff explains what the reindeer are up to this time of the year.

"We do parades all over southeast Wisconsin. After Christmas, and we are done with our season, the bull loses his antlers. The girls keep their antlers much longer, and the steers and the babies. They will keep their antlers through February, March and April."  

It's time for a well-deserved rest after a hectic holiday season.
