Based on software analysis, annual production, producing cost and revenue can be estimated from the herd that a herding family keep. The software not only determining above mentioned indicators it also has benefits as a tool to implement and coordinate long and midterm livestock policies efficiently at local level. Successful application of this software can increase market-oriented products from traditional nomadic herding system into public markets.
