Number of breeding cattle in agricultural organizations, 2023–2024
2371311 head of breeding cattle were in agricultural organizations not classified as small businesses at the end of 2023, and 2342657 by the end of 2024. The table presents the population by region and cattle category, such as cows excluding animals for fattening and grazing, as well as young stock over one year. The data covers the country's agricultural organizations for two years, excluding small enterprises and private households, showing the scale of the breeding base in the large-scale livestock sector

Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2023–2024. Rows: 399, periods: 2. Breakdown: Russian Federation — Total; Russian Federation — Cows (excluding cows for fattening and grazing…; Russian Federation — Young stock (except calves under 1 year); Russian Federation — Heifers; Russian Federation — Calves under 1 year and others
Russian Federation — Total: the indicator decreased from 2.4 million to 2.3 million in 2023–2024 — by 1.21%. Of the 25 largest rows, 8 increased, 17 decreased
All table numbers are series: 399
How to read this table
Table rows are grouped by subjects of the Russian Federation, with cattle categories specified within. Year-on-year comparison allows for tracking changes in the breeding herd population both nationwide and in individual regions. By comparing figures for cows and young stock, the structure of the breeding population maintained in specialized organizations can be assessed. Each row contains the exact number of head recorded at the end of the reporting period, enabling a detailed analysis of breeding livestock by region
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Russian Federation — Total (2.4 million), Russian Federation — Cows (excluding cows for f… (1 million), Russian Federation — Calves under 1 year (735 234), Central federal district — Total (705 607), Russian Federation — Young stock (except calves under 1 year) (584 081). Gap between highest and lowest — by 926.3 times. The top five account for 79.7% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual and cover 2 periods. Cells with numbers: 50 out of 50 (100%), meaning the table is almost entirely filled
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2023 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
