Domestic beef cattle breeding is one of the most important and, at the same time, problematic sub-sectors of Russian agriculture, which reduces the volume of production and consumption of beef in the country. The purpose of the study was to clarify and supplement the organizational and economic aspects of innovative development of this sub-sector of animal husbandry in Russia. The article develops a structural and functional diagram of the system of production, processing and sale of cattle meat, supplemented by subsystems for the formation and development of innovative potential and resource support for the functioning of domestic beef cattle breeding. It was found that biological, natural, climatic and land resources are the most important elements of its resource base, which largely determine the organizational, technological and economic features of the sub-sector in each individual region. The innovative analysis of production technology of specialized beef cattle breeding is carried out. Priority areas of its restoration and innovative development using technical, technological, organizational, managerial and marketing innovations are substantiated. It has been established that the most important factor in the sovereign innovative development of domestic beef cattle breeding is the restoration and development of domestic breeding resources of beef cattle. Economic recommendations are given for the development of mechanisms for accelerated reproduction of animal population in beef cattle breeding. It has been proven that in the sub-sector it is necessary to pay attention to the processes of specialization, placement and economic interaction of enterprises engaged in the production of calves, their suckling maintenance, rearing and final fattening. The results obtained in the course of the study are compared with the results of studies in a similar subject area, published in leading periodicals. The results of the study can be used in the development of programs for the restoration and development of domestic beef cattle breeding.
