Why do deer shed their antlers?
They shed their antlers because after the breeding season, the rut, they no longer need the antlers to impress females and to fight with other males over the females. The antlers consume a lot of blood and minerals which the deer needs after the breeding season and during the winter.
Female and baby reindeer and caribou keep their antlers until the spring to be able to protect their food source from the larger males. Females that are not pregnant and babies will generally shed their antlers in the early spring. Pregnanat females generally shed their's a few days after giving birth to their young, later in the spring.

What gender are santas reindeer?
Well most say they are females because that male reindeer lose their antlers in November or mid December. but females keep them until they have birth in spring. it could be rumors and they both grow them in the summer but they do think that they are female. the only thing that isn't understandable is that a reindeer in the Christmas movies always has a girl friend or mate or whatever. in the one where Rudolph's DAD is Blitzen he has a mom and in Rudolph and the land of misfit toys he has a girl mate thing named Zoey so...there are many rumors. they have boy names but they seem like girls. but one thing people keep saying is "we should have known this when they always knew their way" which is disrespectful
All are girls because of the reason stated above.They are 'special' reindeer, after all.
All are boys cause male reindeer are stronger than female reindeer to pull the sleigh. Plus Blitzen is the dad of Rudolph. It doesn't matter is the antlers fall of cause maybe Santa just tied antlers to his reindeer to give them some dignity of their true gender for Christmas.
