To mark reindeer in Swedish Lapland, the Sami hold a roundup on the summer pastures, by foot, bike, or helicopter, to gather the animals which are shared by a group of herders. Females and their young run in circles while ranchers try to find a young reindeer that is following a female that belongs to them, to catch it and mark its ear. The poles fitted with a metal loop at the end are a recent innovation that replaces the traditional lasso.
