After Maybe Meat and now Basically Beef my bet is that in midnight we are getting Potentially Pork.
The common suggestion is the isle of dorn crabs, but personally I think this spot sucks unless you're a caster. Even then, the spawns aren't really fast enough to avoid downtime
I found Ara-Kara follower dungeons are a pretty solid way to farm this up. Run the first third, ignoring the mini-boss spiders, and kill every mob, even the small neutral guys. You'll net ~45 beef + ~20 wings in about a 5-min run. The npcs also make it easier to kill and gather mobs up
