Commercial raised beef are penned and fed dried corn grain, under a roof, to speed up putting on weight, and preferably Iowa Grain corn.

That would only be the last month or two of an 18 month life. The rest is all roughage as in hay and silage. The corn fed to fat cattle is a small percentage of their overall diet. I spent the first 35 years of my life in NW Iowa on a farm.
