Ordering and booking
How do I order sheep from MIDRAR?
Open the batch that suits you, tap “Request a quote” and enter your name, number and quantity — or contact us directly on WhatsApp or by phone. The MIDRAR team will get back to you to confirm the details.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can browse batches and request a quote without registering.
Does a quote request reserve the sheep for me?
No. A quote request is not a reservation. A booking is confirmed only after the MIDRAR team contacts you and the details are agreed.
Prices
Are the listed prices per head?
Yes for the current offers — every price shows its unit (per head) and currency. Batches without a listed price are priced on request.
Which currency are prices in?
Current offers are in Saudi riyals. For other currencies, contact us and we will agree the details.

Eid sacrifices
When is Eid al-Adha 2027?
Eid al-Adha 2027 is expected around 16 May 2027; the final date depends on the sighting of the Dhul Hijjah moon.
When should I book my sacrifice?
Confirm your order at least six weeks before Eid (around the start of April 2027): a shipment from Port Sudan to Jeddah Islamic Port takes about 30 days, and demand rises sharply before Eid. You can pre-order now.
Are your sheep suitable for sacrifice?
Every batch shows its weight, when it was measured and its age; please make sure the animal meets the conditions of the sacrifice (age and freedom from defects), and consult scholars for detailed rulings. See also how to choose an Eid sheep.
Which weights are available for Eid?
Every batch on the Eid page shows its live weight, weigh date and price per head. To estimate the carcass for each live weight, see the weights table.
How does the sheep reach Saudi Arabia?
The sheep are shipped by sea from Port Sudan to Jeddah Islamic Port, about 30 days from order confirmation, followed by one week of veterinary quarantine in Jeddah before release, and we agree collection arrangements after arrival.
How do I pay for the sacrifice?
The payment method and schedule are agreed with each order and written into the quotation before any commitment.
What if the shipment is delayed?
The expected shipping date is stated in the quotation, and we tell you about any change as soon as we know so we can agree a solution before Eid. That is why we advise confirming at least six weeks before Eid.
Can I book more than one sheep?
Yes. The minimum export shipment to Saudi Arabia is 100 head, and one shipment can combine several batches; if you need fewer, contact us and we will tell you what can be arranged. For large quantities, request a wholesale quote.
Do you offer slaughter and distribution?
Collection arrangements after arrival in Jeddah are agreed for each order. Ask us about slaughter and distribution when you order and we will tell you what can be arranged.
Quality and health
How do I know the sheep's weight?
Each batch shows its live weight with the measurement date, because weight changes with feeding. For live weight vs. carcass weight, read this guide.
Can I see the sheep before buying?
Each batch page has its photos. For more details or extra photos, contact us on WhatsApp.
What is the difference between live weight and carcass weight?
Live weight is the sheep alive; carcass weight is usually about 45–50% of it. Details in this guide.
