We assessed the effects of management strategies during 1960-73 relative to strategies used during 1974-87 on the reproduction and mortality of 56 semi-domesticated herds of Finnish reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus). During 1960-73, reindeer fed exclusively on natural forage growing on their range, and reindeer were harvested mostly as adults. These strategies were modified starting in 1974 to include supplemental feeding in the southern part of the Finnish reindeer range and calf harvesting throughout the range. We found significantly higher calf/female ratios, lower mortality, and less variation in both calf/female ratios and mortality during 1974-87 than during 1960-73. These changes occurred in spite of increased animal density. Coe...
