Reindeer are the most domesticated of the deer. In the region of Lapland in northern Europe, they have been domesticated for many centuries, where they provide meat, milk, clothing, and transportation. They are used both to pull sleds and to carry burdens and riders. The Laplanders until recently were completely dependent upon the reindeer for their livelihood and followed the herds on their annual migrations. Reindeer living in a wild state in Eurasia are probably descended in part from the domesticated strains.
