Is Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer a girl?

Male reindeer drop their antlers in the autumn after the rutting season is over. However, Santa’s reindeer have antlers! This has fired a suspicion that Santa’s reindeer are, including Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, all girls.

However, Rudolf is still a boy. Castrated male reindeer drop their antlers in the spring like females. Tourism reindeer are almost without exception these male reindeer. That is why they have handsome antlers until late spring.
