Michigan Plans Reindeer Propagation in Upper Peninsula
Michigan conservation officials will attempt to propagate reindeer in the upper peninsula after receiving 50 cows and 19 bulls from Norway. The herd will roam in the northern lower peninsula for now, then cross to the upper peninsula to establish a permanent population as winter conditions favor survival. The move aligns with stocking timber lands and streams, with a closed season planned to boost population growth in northern Michigan.
