Our history

Located in the central regions of Russia, ZARECHNOE Group began with the Angus Genetics Center (Angus Genetics of Russia) in 2008 in the Kaluga Region. The first of its kind, the AGR became the first importer of high quality Black Angus genetics into Russia. With the construction of 3 additional ranches, a feedlot and a packing plant in the Voronezh regions, ZARECHNOE Group has grown into one of the largest privately owned, vertically integrated agribusinesses in the nation.

Today, under the leadership of Sergei Nitsenko, the ZARECHNOE Group is best known for producing the finest quality beef available. Each business unit, from genetics, ranching, feeding to slaughtering and processing is an important part of the chain that allows ZARECHNOE Group to be a leader and one of the most innovative firms in the industry, pioneering the development of branded beef and value-added beef products.

Our feed recipes are scientifically formulated, from data collected from around the globe, and our mixed feed is produced using ingredients sourced from our own land to ensure a reliable supply of only the very best quality raw materials. Up to 90% of the ingredients we use to produce our feeds are raised on our own land. Cattle at the feedlot are finished on a four part feed mix, all corn based and 100% natural, free of GMO’s
