Sheep and goat population at the end of the year in Russia
21659,914 thousand heads were recorded in the Russian Federation at the end of 2020, and by 2021 the figure was 8226,061 thousand. These data are presented in a table covering a two‑year period. Each of the 95 rows shows the livestock count for a specific region or federal district, enabling comparison of livestock scale across the country. The information is grouped by territory, starting with the total for Russia and ending with data for individual regions
Chart of sheep and goat livestock in the Russian Federation and regions for 2020 and 2021
Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2020–2021. Series: 371, period: 2. Table rows: RUSSIAN FEDERATION — value; RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Agricultural organisations; RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Households; RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Peasant (farm) households …; CENTRAL FEDERAL DISTRICT — value and others
Bryansk Region — Agricultural organisations: the indicator remained unchanged at 1 000 million for 2020–2021. Of the 23 largest rows, 3 increased, 20 decreased
All table numbers are series: 371
How to read this table
The rows differ by geographic affiliation, so analysis should compare the figures for individual regions with the nationwide totals. Each row provides data for two reporting dates, allowing assessment of livestock changes in each subject over the period. Comparing district data helps reveal the overall picture of sheep and goat farming development under various climatic and economic conditions presented in the statistical bulletin
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Bryansk Region — Agricultural organisations (1 000 million), Bryansk Region — Peasant (farm) households (1 000 million), RUSSIAN FEDERATION — value (21 660), RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Households (10 068), RUSSIAN FEDERATION — Peasant (farm) households (8 354). The gap between the highest and lowest is 1.3 billion times. The top five account for 100% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Annual observations, 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
Data are updated annually as Rosstat releases agricultural reports. The information is useful for agri‑industry specialists, economists and researchers studying livestock sector dynamics. The current 2020‑2021 snapshot allows assessment of the industry's condition at the regional level and identification of differences in livestock numbers at year‑end
How it is calculated
Sown area data show what will be abundant and what will be scarce several months before this is reflected on the shelf
