do female reindeer shed their antlers

Yes, female reindeer do shed their antlers. Just like their male counterparts, female reindeer also go through an annual cycle of antler growth and shedding. During the summer months, they grow new antlers, which can reach up to two feet in length. As the winter approaches, they shed their antlers, just like the males do. This process is called "antler casting" and it's a natural part of the reindeer's life cycle.
