beeves

Cows for butchering

Beeves is the plural of beef when referring to cattle rather than meat.

A rancher might speak of a herd of beeves or ten beeves ready for market.

The word is old-fashioned and rare in everyday speech, surviving mainly in agricultural, legal, or deliberately archaic contexts.
