Cattle population in agricultural organizations
Number of cattle heads in large agricultural organizations, excluding small businesses, at the end of 2024 and 2025. The list rows are divided by territorial levels: from indicators for the entire Russian Federation and federal districts to data for specific subjects, such as Belgorod Oblast. The columns reflect the number of animals for two reporting years, allowing for a comparison of herd sizes across different farms and regions of the country
Chart of cattle population by category at the end of 2024 and 2025
Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2024–2025. Rows: 229, periods: 2. Breakdown by categories: Russian Federation — Heifers; Russian Federation — Young cattle (cattle under 1 year); Russian Federation — Calves under 1 year; Central Federal District — Heifers; Central Federal District — Young cattle (cattle under 1 year) and others
Russian Federation — Calves under 1 year: the indicator increased from 1,700 to 1,748 in 2024–2025 — by 2.79%. Out of 25 largest rows, 15 increased, 10 decreased
All table numbers are series: 229
How to read this table
The rows are organized geographically, allowing for a comparison of livestock farming scales across the country and individual regions. You can compare Central Federal District indicators with national figures or examine the situation in a specific region. Comparing data for 2024 and 2025 helps identify changes in cattle numbers in organizations that are not classified as small businesses
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Russian Federation — Calves under 1 year (1,748), Russian Federation — Young cattle (cattle under 1 year) (1,322), Central Federal District — Calves under 1 year (696.7), Russian Federation — Heifers (514), Central Federal District — Young cattle (cattle under 1 year) (413.6). The gap between the highest and lowest is 313.8 times. The top five account for 81.8% of the total across all categories — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 2 periods. Out of 50 possible values, 50 are filled (100%) — missing data is virtually absent
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2024 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur

Period and application
Information is compiled based on agricultural status bulletins. Data is presented as a two-year snapshot and covers 78 rows with various territorial units. The information will be useful for agribusiness specialists, government representatives, and anyone analyzing the development of livestock farming in large-scale operations
How it is calculated
This year’s harvest and livestock numbers determine next year’s procurement prices: processors require such rows earlier than supplier price lists
