Description
The company was located in Moscow, in Maly Trubny Lane, in the house of Nikolai and Pavel Kuleshov, who founded it together with Prince Alexander Shcherbatov. The company was engaged in trade, both at its own expense and on a commission basis, with live farm animals, some of which were exported. His breeding farm was located in the town of Khutorok near Yekaterinodar (today Krasnodar), and large cattle breeding farms with many thousands of hectares of pastures were in Krasnodar, Voronezh and the Caucasus. In the city of Gryazi, the company owned a slaughterhouse that supplied meat to the tsarist navy. The increase in fixed capital in 1904 and 1906 was carried out with the aim of putting into operation their own ice wagons to transport the meat produced abroad, primarily to England.
