I didn't say it was natural, I said there was a lot of soy used. Even
herbivores need amino acids to build proteins, more building blocks make
for faster growth.

According to a Young Cattleman on an agriculture propaganda site:
"Corn is the predominant grain used because it is a great source of starch
(carbohydrates) utilized for energy. Other grains used include oats, barley,
sorghum, distillers (brewers) grains, and by-products of numerous grain and fiber
milling processes. These are referred to as the concentrate portion of the ration.
Corn or wheat silage is a very common feed ration ingredient to be used. It can
account for the forage and concentrate portion of the diet. Silage is the entire
plant (seed and stalk), harvested in an earlier stage with higher moisture, then
stored in an anaerobic environment (without oxygen) where fermentation occurs and
breaks down the plant cell walls."
That's for beef cattle, anyway.
And even if there were soy, it's hardly natural for ruminant.

Soybeans is a large part of animal feed, corn hardly has enough
nourishment. One of the problems of the native American cultures was
lack of large domesticable animals, and suitable easily domesticable
grasses. No culture that had a choice would have chosen Corn, and the
only tractable large ruminant in the Americas was, well there wasn't
one.
