Canada
Your Canadian flock, organized from barn to market
Throf is a flock management platform for sheep and goat producers in Canada. Record every ewe, ram and lamb, follow breeding and lambing in the barn, log feed, treatments and weights, and see cost per head and net profit on iPhone, Android or the web at app.throf.com.
Canada's sheep sector is focused on lamb, with Ontario, Québec and Alberta among the main producing provinces, alongside dairy sheep and a goat sector for meat and milk.
Long, cold winters mean most flocks are housed in barns for part of the year on stored hay and feed. Housing makes lambing easier to supervise but raises feed and labour costs, so knowing your cost per head matters.
Many producers lamb in winter or use accelerated lambing to supply lamb through the year, which makes a clear breeding and lambing history for every ewe essential.
What breeders face
- Winter feed costsMonths of stored hay and grain in the barn weigh on the margin when you cannot see cost per head.
- Barn lambing at nightKnowing which ewes are close to lambing helps the night checks and cuts newborn losses.
- Year-round lambingAccelerated systems mean several groups at different stages, which is hard to follow on paper.
- LabourFamily members and hired help need to record the same things the same way.
How Throf helps
- One record per headTag number and colour, breed, sex, birth date, weight, dam and sire, with Excel import and RFID tag support.
- Stages and remindersTrack breeding, early and late pregnancy, close-to-birth, lambing, weaning and drying-off by animal or by group.
- Feed and cost per headRecord meals and feed stock, then expenses and sales, and Throf calculates cost per head and net profit.
- Team accountsEach person gets an account with set permissions, tasks and a daily work sheet you can review from your phone.
Seasons that matter
Breeding in late summer and fall leads to winter and spring lambing in the barn, while accelerated flocks lamb several times a year. Holiday demand, including Easter and Eid al-Adha, lifts lamb sales.

FAQ
Is there a sheep management app for Canadian farms?
Yes. Throf works in Canada on iPhone, Android and the web at app.throf.com, for sheep and goats: records per head, breeding, health, feeding, team and finances.
Can Throf follow accelerated lambing groups?
Yes. Put ewes in groups and change the stage for a whole group at once, from breeding to lambing and weaning, while each ewe keeps her own history.
Can I record barn feeding and feed stock?
Yes. Log meals, feed stock in kilograms and water, and the feed costs flow into cost per head.
How much does Throf cost in Canada?
Throf has a free plan for up to 25 head. Paid plans are priced in Saudi riyals and shown in the app and on the pricing page.
Does Throf replace official livestock identification?
Throf stores each animal's tag number and reads compatible RFID tags with a Bluetooth reader. Official identification and movement reporting are separate: follow your national identification rules and use the official systems for them.
Is Throf available in French?
This website and our practical guides are in French. The app itself is available in Arabic and English.
