Abstract: Due to the critical state of the dairy industry, the problem of developing specialized beef cattle breeding in the country has become topical again. Beef cattle breeding is not an independent branch of animal husbandry, but one of the specialized areas in the "cattle breeding" industry, since, like dairy, it belongs to the same animal type - the cattle. The combination of factors that determine the productivity and economic efficiency of beef production from beef cattle forms the general concept of "specialized beef cattle breeding». The country is rapidly approaching the fact that soon the domestic beef market will be formed mainly due to import. Even if we manage to stabilize beef production at dairy cattle breeding, at least 1.3 million more tons of beef will be needed to provide the consumption of our country. Therefore, specialized beef cattle breeding should develop, the conditions for this in Russia are more favorable than in most other countries of the world. At the same time, increasing the beef cattle livestock is a long-term work and requires significant strengthening of the breeding base. The development of beef cattle breeding will contribute to the involvement of currently vacant lands in agricultural production and the revival of rural settlements in all Federal Districts of the Russian Federation.
