Kenai Reindeer Farm

Kenai Reindeer Farm raises reindeer in Kenai, AK on the Kenai Peninsula near Anchorage. The farm maintains herd health through regular veterinary checkups, parasite screenings, and follows established guidelines for reindeer care. Animals live outdoors year-round in fenced pastures with access to shelters during severe weather and calves are socialized from birth to promote calm temperaments. The facility records lineage and monitors genetic diversity to support long-term herd vitality.

Feeding includes locally sourced lichens, tundra grasses and supplemental minerals to support digestive health. Structures for enrichment provide varied terrain, seasonal browse and scratching posts to encourage natural behaviors. Staff live on-site to monitor daily activity, coordinate feeding routines and share husbandry insights with community groups to foster broader understanding of arctic wildlife. Winter breeding cycles align with natural daylight patterns to support reproductive health, and proven methods yield sturdy, well-adapted offspring.
