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

only tractable large ruminant in the Americas was, well there wasn't
one.
