meat breeds
Explanation:
Cattle breeds reared for meat/beef production. Conformation is a technical term and more about the shape, but I don't think it's indispensable in the query excerpt (extensive breeds were upgraded with meat conformation breeds/breeds reared for meat production).

Conformation
= the shape or structure of something, especially an animal.
"the judges run their hands over the bull's's body and legs, checking its conformation"
