How to Own Livestock Without Managing a Farm

By SG Aqiqah · 25 July 2026

For many Muslims and livestock enthusiasts, the idea of owning sheep or cattle is appealing — but the realities of farm ownership (land, daily care, feed, veterinary costs, staff) make it impractical for most city dwellers. The OwnerSheep Programme, offered through SG Aqiqah's partnership with Aliyah Rizq Holdings, solves this problem entirely.

The Challenge of Traditional Livestock Ownership

Owning livestock traditionally requires significant infrastructure: land in an agricultural zone, daily feeding and watering, veterinary relationships, knowledge of breeding cycles, and the physical labour of farm management. For Singapore residents or global Muslims living in cities, this is simply not feasible. Yet the desire to hold a tangible, physical asset — particularly one aligned with Islamic values of sustaining livestock for Qurban, Aqiqah, and community benefit — remains strong.

How the OwnerSheep Programme Solves This

The OwnerSheep Programme by Aliyah Rizq Holdings removes every barrier to livestock ownership:

• You purchase a minimum of 4 sheep — they become legally yours
• Aliyah Rizq houses them at certified halal farms in Mersing, Malaysia
• A team of trained farmers and veterinary professionals manage all daily operations
• You receive bi-annual health and growth status reports
• When your flock is sold, you receive your share of the sale proceeds

No land. No daily chores. No farming experience needed.

What You Actually Own

You own physical sheep — real animals registered under your name. This is not a fund, not a digital token, and not a financial instrument. It is tangible livestock ownership, with the farming handled on your behalf by professionals who have been doing this since 2015 and now manage over 70,000 animals across 9 farms in 7 countries.

The 36-Month Ownership Cycle

The programme runs on a 36-month cycle. Your sheep breed during this period (female sheep gestate for ~5.5 months, producing 2–3 offspring per year in optimal conditions). One parent sheep can generate up to 16 offspring over 3 years. At the end of the cycle, your flock is sold through Aliyah Rizq's halal supply chain across ASEAN, and you receive proceeds proportional to your ownership.

Using Your Sheep for Qurban or Aqiqah

A unique benefit of the programme: you can designate your own sheep for your personal Qurban or Aqiqah observance. Rather than purchasing a Qurban share through a third party, your own registered animal can fulfil your religious obligation. Contact SG Aqiqah via WhatsApp to arrange this when the time comes.

Who Can Join?

The programme is open to anyone globally — you do not need to be based in Singapore or Malaysia. Whether you are an individual, a family, or a company looking for a CSR programme, the OwnerSheep Programme accommodates all participation types starting from a minimum of 4 sheep.
