Beef, as related to cows has two definitions:
1. The meat of a cow
2. A cow raised specifically for the purpose of being consumed as food.

The first is very common usage, the latter is very rare. The first is also uncountable and therefore has no plural. The second is countable and has the plural 'beeves.' The place where I've seen the word 'beeves' used most frequently is in reference to armies on the move before the invention of non-perishable goods such as canned food. Often the armies would have in tow a large number of beeves that would be slaughtered for food as the army moved around. They were referred to as 'beeves on the hoof.'

2. A cow raised specifically for the purpose of being consumed as food.

2 could also be for differentiation of type.
i.e.: "our butcher sent us a variety of beeves. 1 pound of angus, 2 pounds of kobe, 4 pounds of holstein, etc"
