Who is at risk for mad cow disease?

Anyone: Anyone who is exposed. How it is transmitted is a bit of a mystery, as is what exactly it is.

Occupational: Mostly occupational hazard - working in the slaughterhouse for example. Eating large quantity of raw and undercooked beef has been cited - but it needs to be from infected cows. Risks are generally low since they stopped feeding the ground up dead animals back to the herd.
