Kurdistan’s diverse terrains are ideal for sheep farming. We work with farmers in Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk, offering both meat and wool sheep varieties. Our sheep are known for their quality and adaptability, providing a sustainable source of protein and fiber.

Nutritional Benefits
Livestock products are a cornerstone of nutrition in Kurdistan, offering a range of benefits that contribute significantly to the local diet. The meat from our livestock serves as an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential for growth and development. Additionally, milk from our cattle and goats is rich in calcium and vitamins, promoting bone health and overall nutrition. Beyond meat and dairy, sheep provide valuable wool, which not only supports local textile industries but also offers additional income for farmers, enhancing the economic sustainability of the region.
Sustainable Farming Practices
We are dedicated to promoting sustainable livestock farming methods that benefit both farmers and the environment, particularly in regions like Kurdistan-Iraq, where livestock farming plays an essential role in the agricultural sector.
- Animal Welfare: Our livestock partners adhere to best practices in animal husbandry, ensuring the health and well-being of all animals. By prioritizing animal welfare, we support farmers across Kurdistan-Iraq in maintaining healthy herds that thrive and contribute to local economies.
- Pasture Management: We advocate for rotational grazing techniques, which help maintain soil health and reduce overgrazing, ensuring sustainability for future generations.
- Feed Quality: By working with local farmers to provide high-quality, locally sourced feed, we enhance the health and productivity of livestock. This collaboration not only boosts the well-being of animals but also strengthens local economies by supporting regional agriculture in cities like Erbil, Duhok, and Sulaymaniyah.
Quality Assurance
Our commitment to quality extends to every aspect of our livestock services, ensuring the highest standards for our products. We implement strict health monitoring protocols to guarantee that all livestock are disease-free and healthy before reaching consumers. Additionally, our livestock products are fully traceable, allowing customers to know the origins of their meat, dairy, and wool, which reinforces transparency throughout the supply chain and fosters trust in the quality of what we provide.
