Male deer have antlers to fight other males for mates etc.. Female reindeer, (acturally caribou), also have antlers. Like other deer, antlers are shed in early winter, with the exception of pregnant caribou cows. Since caribou dig down in the snow (called cratering) to get at lichen, pregnant caribou cows can use their antlers to defend against other caribou who may try to kick them out of their crater, which ultimately helps pregnant cows conserve energy.
Male deer have antlers and use them to fight for females. The females simply mate with the winners of the fights. Females do not need to fight to mate with the winner. A male deer can mate with many females. The female gets to mate with the strongest and healthiest male without doing anything. Also, it takes a lot of energy to produce antlers. The female uses her energy to produce her calf.

No, only male deer have antlers although it is extremely rare to have a female deer with antlers. ^^Actually, since all they are REINDEER, they all have antlers. Male and female. But, male reindeer drop their antlers in early winter, while females retain theirs until early spring. So ACTUALLY, all his reindeer are female.
nope, only male deers have antlers... The female Caribou grows antlers but they are thinner and shorter then the males. In some rare cases female deer can grow antlers. When the air starts to get cold the antlers will become brittle, cracked and will fall off.
Girl reindeer do have antlers. Reindeer or caribou are the only species of deer where both males and females have antlers.
Well, yes. Female reindeer keep their antlers. Although, in spite of the fact I am a true fan of science(I am an aithiest. I only celebrate Christmas for fun), I disagree with the fact they are all female. It is most likely, but come on- the guy's magic! Of course, they would need a male to repreduce, so they have to have at least 1 male, or they would die out. female reindeers do no have antlers and they are a doe.male reindeers have antlers
yes all reindeer lose their antlers at this time of year and grow back round spring time
