Livestock breeding: number of cows and ewes
The 2021 and 2022 period covers observations of livestock population across the country's farms, with results compiled in this table. Rows are organized geographically, ranging from the total for the Russian Federation to specific federal districts and regions, such as Belgorod Oblast. This structure allows for the distribution of indicators across the country by comparing 2021 results with 2022 totals for each individual region

How to read this table
Table rows are grouped by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, enabling comparisons between neighboring regions or federal districts. The first row provides the national total, followed by data for each federal district and its constituent regions. Comparing row values helps identify differences in the scale of livestock farming across various parts of Russia, based on the specific two-year figures presented in the corresponding columns
What is visible in these numbers
Five largest values: Russian Federation — Cows and heifers (2,293), Central Federal District — Cows and heifers (791.6), Russian Federation — including heifers (698.4), Russian Federation — Ewes, does, … (605.9), Central Federal District — including heifers (229.3). Gap between largest and smallest — by a factor of 208,439. The top five account for 86.4% of the total across all items — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 2 observation periods in the dataset. There are 50 values in the table out of 50 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain
