The sami do sell the meat to non-sami. Today and traditionally. Their traditional way of living involves trading reindeer meat and hide for grain and tools from the coastal farmers. And they are not the only herding culture who did it. You can take a look at the modern day maasai who trade beef for corn meal. Meat only is not that good of a diet so you have to trade if meat and hide is all you produce.
