How to read this table
Table rows are organized by territory, allowing comparison of livestock numbers in a specific region with national figures or neighboring areas. Values can be compared vertically to see the two‑year trend and horizontally to analyse regional concentration. Each row provides the exact figure for the corresponding territory, facilitating assessment of private livestock scale in rural areas
What is visible in these numbers
Five largest values: Russian Federation — Sheep and goats (8,674), Russian Federation — Cattle (6,107), Russian Federation — including cows (2,818), Russian Federation — Pigs (1,492), Central Federal District — Sheep and goats (476.2). Gap between largest and smallest — by 154,898 times. The top five account for 95.7% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 2 periods in the dataset. Of 50 possible values, 50 (100%) are filled; data gaps are virtually absent
