🚨 HELP US NAME OUR NEWEST BULL! 🚨

This handsome yearling is looking for a name, and we need your help!

He’s the son of Megan, our biggest-antlered cow, and it looks like he may have inherited her incredible genetics. Just look at those antlers already! 🤩

As he grows, we expect him to become one of the standout bulls in our herd, but before he becomes a holiday superstar, he needs a name worthy of those impressive antlers.

Drop your best name suggestions in the comments! 👇

We’ll pick our favorite and announce the winner soon.

🦌 Bonus points for names inspired by Christmas, the North Pole, strength, adventure, or those massive antlers!

As we begin this new chapter as the owners of Reindeer Express, we want to take a moment to thank Ed and Sonya Benhardt for the trust they have placed in our family.

For nearly 30 years, they poured their hearts into building something truly special. What started with just four reindeer grew into a business that has brought joy, wonder, and holiday magic to countless families, schools, communities, and events across Washington, Montana, and Idaho. More importantly, they built a reputation for exceptional animal care, integrity, and genuine relationships with their clients.

We know we have big shoes to fill.

Over the years, we have watched the dedication, hard work, and love that Ed and Sonya have invested in their animals and this business. Their commitment created a legacy that spans generations, and we are honored to have the opportunity to continue it.

Our goal is not only to preserve what they have built, but to carry it forward for the next generation while maintaining the same values and level of care that have made Reindeer Express so special.

Thank you, Ed and Sonya, for trusting us with your herd, your clients, and your legacy. We are incredibly grateful for your guidance, friendship, and confidence in us. We look forward to continuing the tradition of sharing these amazing animals and creating magical memories for years to come.

Please join us in wishing Ed and Sonya a well-deserved and happy retirement. Their impact on our community, their clients, and the reindeer industry will not be forgotten.

Enjoy your retirement!

Grateful for the wonderful reindeer farms that have purchased calves from us.

A while back we had a special friend come and visit! Beth Horses & Kathy Winkler started their reindeer farm Hilltop Reindeer Ranch the same year we did! -Our reindeer are even from the same farm Reindeer Express LLC who helped us both get started with healthy beautiful reindeer calves. Our original reindeer pairs are now going on 4 years old and are big beautiful and strong. They our the foundation to our herds.

Beth has worked with all sorts of species. It was a honor to have Beth stop by, see our herd feed some treats of raisins of course. You could say Beth was very popular. 💙

Dash even showed her how he can target too. Cheers to friends on the same journey with the same passion, we are thankful for you!

🎄After the busiest night of the year, our reindeer are kicking up their hooves, enjoying a well-earned breather—and getting ready for their very last day of visits this year 🦌✨
If you’ve been waiting for one more chance to say hello, tomorrow’s the day. Come soak up the magic before they head into their cozy off-season 💫

Last chance. Big smiles. Christmas magic, one more time.
