Abstract: The condition of food security in the Russian Federation in 1990-2016 has undergone critical falling in 1999 and then restoration by 2016, despite the food embargo entered in 2014. Practically on all markets there was a restoration of prereform level, except for the market of milk. Despite restoration of solvent demand by 2013 consumption of milk and milk products is much lower than rational norms that is caused by steady reduction in production of milk and a livestock of cows in the country. The reasons of decrease in a livestock of cows consist in specifics of branch of dairy cattle breeding, first of all the existence of agricultural grounds for maintaining dairy cattle breeding. There are a competition for land resources between dairy cattle breeding and agricultural cultures which have a profitability often 10 times more profitability of milk. On the other hand in dairy cattle breeding there is a need of cultivation of herd replacements that leads to accumulation of financial resources for a long time with payback of 4,5-5 years. Overcoming reduction in production of milk and a livestock of cows requires allocation of production of herd replacements as investment process as creation of the main means - cows results. Recognition of cultivation of herd replacements investment process will allow to lower credit load of agricultural producers and to count on the state support in a type of subsidizing of a credit rate or introduction of a single subsidy at transfer of a heifer to the main herd.
