If this is meat as in radioactive decay, then no. Whether a radioactive source decays by alpha or beta decay depends on the number of neutrons compared to protons it has in its nucleus. As the proton and neutron numbers get to around 100, there is a bit of an overlap. Before this, particles decay by beta emission, and after this, alpha. Having said that, there are points where there is both types, however in terms of increasing nucleon numbers, beta comes before alpha radiation, so in answer to the question, no.
