Number of cattle in Russia at the end of the year
18027.172 thousand head of cattle were recorded in Russia at the end of 2020, and by the end of 2021 this figure was 2864.797 thousand head. The list provides data for the Russian Federation as a whole, federal districts, and individual constituent entities, including the Belgorod Region. Comparing data for the two years shows the scale of the population across different parts of the country and changes in agriculture over this period
Chart of cattle population in Russia at the end of 2020 and 2021, by categories of farms
Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2020–2021. Rows: 378, periods: 2. Table rows: RUSSIAN FEDERATION — value; RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Agricultural organisations; RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Household farms; RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Peasant (farm) households …; CENTRAL FEDERAL DISTRICT — value and others
RUSSIAN FEDERATION — value: indicator fell from 18 027 to 17 650 in 2020–2021 — by 2.09%. Of the 25 largest rows, 9 increased, 16 decreased
All table numbers are series: 378
How to read this table
Rows group information by geography, allowing for a comparison of indicators between federal districts and specific regions. Any region can be selected from the list to determine the exact number of cattle at the end of each of the two years. Comparing rows reveals which territories lead in livestock numbers and which have lower indicators, illustrating the overall structure of livestock farming by territory
What is visible in these numbers
Five largest values: RUSSIAN FEDERATION — value (18 027), RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Agricultural organisations (8 124), RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Household farms (7 080), CENTRAL FEDERAL DISTRICT — value (3 123), RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Peasant (farm) households (2 865). Gap between largest and smallest — by 3 470 times. The top five account for 86.6% of the total across all entries — 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, i.e. 100%; data gaps are virtually absent
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2021 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
Statistics cover the period from 2020 to 2021 and are based on data from agricultural bulletins. Information is regularly updated by Rosstat as new reports are received. These data are useful for farmers, agricultural economics researchers, and those analyzing the state of the livestock sector by region
How it is calculated
Sown area data show what will be abundant and what scarce several months before this appears on the shelf
