36 BULLETIN 1423, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGBICULTURE 
Full progress in the reindeer industry can come only from the 
adoption of better management methods, not only in range control 
and regulation but in herd management and provisions for trans- 
porting and marketing the meat. This involves open herding, 
reduction of the proportion of bulls in the herds, selection of the 
best stock for breeding, infusion of new blood by transferring bulls 
and cross breeding with native caribou, adoption of improved 
methods of corralling, branding, and castration, keeping sled rein- 
deer in each herd, and providing for herd ownership on the per- 
centage basis for increases, with one registered brand for a com- 
munity herd, and for cold-storage facilities to assist in marketing.
