Abstract: Meat cattle breeding should develop, because this influences the indicators of the Food Security Doctrine and the food provision of the population. The deficit of beef consumption - 29‰ and reducing the production of cattle meat in Russia were revealed. The main reason is a reduction in the number of dairy cattle with an insufficient rate of development of specialized beef cattle. The share of products obtained from meat and cattle is 15.4‰. The market survey indicates that the consumers focus on a cheaper kind - poultry meat. However, there is a need for rational nutrition of the population within the food security of the country. For this purpose, industrial production of beef using intensive resource-saving technologies is required. It is proved that in this growing of young animals the living weight increases and the quality composition of meat improves. It is required to take into account localization of this sub-sector. This is closely related to the availability and location of the forage reserve. Reduction of the share of grazing food in the feed balance leads to a decrease in the profitability of beef production. Increasing the concentration level of cattle has a positive impact on the profitability of production. Problems were identified that hamper the development of beef cattle: a high proportion of households, the underdevelopment of the material and institutional infrastructure of the sales markets, low profitability, import dependence on key resources, high depreciation of fixed assets, low level of state support, irrational use of natural forage. State support is necessary for the development of investment processes. Use of public-private partnership in various forms, depending on the financial possibilities is offered. The long-term basis of cooperation will create the necessary conditions for expanded reproduction of the sub-sector and will stimulate consumption, which is also important to implement domestic food aid at the federal level.
