Abstract
In 1985, members of the Applied Reindeer Research
Project at the University of Alaska Fairbanks obtained and
reviewed a Scandinavian instructional video1 on reindeer
herding in Norway. This video described a structure that
was developed and used by the Scandinavian reindeer
industry to prevent injuries during corralling by segregating
fawns from adults. The following is a description of how the
fawn separator is built, how it works, and its current use in
western Alaska
