Someone who complains or grumbles; also a type of cattle or animal raised for beef.
From 'beef' as a verb (to complain) + agent suffix '-er'; developed in 20th-century American English.
In ranching terminology, 'beefer' specifically refers to cattle at the age and weight suitable for slaughter, which is a surprisingly matter-of-fact word farmers use constantly but most people never hear.
