Saudi Arabia
Manage your Saudi flock and camels from your phone
Throf is a Saudi-built platform for sheep, goat and camel breeders across the Kingdom, from a small pen in Qassim to a large feedlot outside Riyadh. Record every animal by number and tag colour, track mating, pregnancy and vaccinations, and see your cost per head and net profit on your phone or in the browser.
Livestock keeping is part of daily life in Saudi Arabia. Local sheep breeds such as Naimi, Najdi and Harri, Ardi and Shami goats, and well-known camel types like Majaheem, Maghateer, Wadh and Shaal are found across the country. The sector mixes traditional herders who graze in the desert with closed commercial farms fed on barley, alfalfa and compound feed.
The hot desert climate means long summers and limited grazing, so most breeders rely on purchased feed, which is usually their biggest cost. Demand follows clear seasons, above all Eid al-Adha and Hajj, then Ramadan, while camels have their own market through beauty shows, festivals and camel milk.
What breeders face
- High feed costsBarley, alfalfa and compound feed take most of the income, and many breeders only discover their real cost per head on the day they sell.
- Records kept in memory and notebooksAs the herd grows, ewe numbers, mating dates and lambing dates get lost between the notebook, the worker and the owner's memory.
- Keeping vaccinations on timeA missed dose or a forgotten vaccination before a busy season can be costly, especially in crowded pens.
- Supervising workers remotelyMany owners run their farm from the city and struggle to know what was actually done each day: feeding, watering and treatments.
How Throf helps
- Expenses, sales and cost per headLog feed, vet and labour expenses plus your sales, and Throf calculates cost per head and net profit automatically.
- A complete record for every animalNumber, tag colour, breed, sex, weight, photo, dam and sire in one place, with bulk import of your herd from Excel.
- Vaccination and treatment remindersRecord vaccinations, treatments and inspections and get reminders that follow the schedule set by your vet.
- Tasks and permissions for your teamAssign tasks to workers with clear permissions and follow the daily work sheet and reports from wherever you are.
Seasons that matter
Eid al-Adha and the Hajj season are the peak months for lamb and sheep sales, followed by Ramadan and weddings, while camel activity peaks around beauty shows, festivals and the cooler winter and spring months.

Is sheep farming profitable in Saudi Arabia?

How do I calculate the cost of fattening a sheep?
Add the purchase price, feed, treatment, labour and any other cost per animal, then compare it with the weight gain and expected sale price. Throf adds these up automatically per animal and shows cost per head and net profit.
