I would prefer to see sci.agriculture.beef because many people
don't have access to the alt.* newsgroups due to their organisations'
policies on Usenet feeds.

This may be just a semantic problem, but you seem to be putting a lot
of emphasis on "beef breeding" which is really just a means to the
end -- "beef production". (Perhaps "breeding" = "production" where
you are?)
