I used to buy feed at the local mill and I always ordered a ton of oats, a ton of corn cracked with a sweetener added. The cows got a light ration of it, the calves(up to 500lb) got a heavier ration of it. If I kept calves beyond that weight I increased the daily ration.

My friend operate a finish feed lot, their feed is pure corn with a hay petllet mixed in..some of their cattle weigh out at 1600 to 1650..just as fat as you could imagine..theri cattle often top the market here.
