There is no one solid answer you're going to get from this question. Weight gain depends on the breed, type, age, type of diet fed and the nutritional content of this diet, especially in terms of energy content (TDN or Total Digestible Nutrients). Environmental factors also have an effect on the performance of feedlot cattle in terms of average daily gain. Finally, it depends on what time period you are referring to in terms of total weight gain: Are you asking about average daily gain (ADG), weight gained per month, or total weight gained over the period cattle are confined to the feedlot?
As such, the answer to this question remains up in the air without these factors being answered first before the ultimate question--the one posted above--can be really answered. However, I can give you a ball-park estimate as to the weight gain expected for cattle on a feedlot.
Depending on breed, cattle are expected to have an average daily gain between 1.5 to 3.0 pounds. As mentioned above, it all depends on the diet formulated for them, as not all cattle will gain the same way on the same diet. Cattle are divided into groups according to age, breed, body condition and response to a certain diet given to them, and fed according to that particular group's energy requirements in order to achieve a certain average daily gain that is optimal (never maximal) for that group.

Why are most feedlots in the US located in the Midwest?
Most feedlots are located in the Midwest of the US because the Midwest is known as the "Corn Belt" because this is a prime area for growing and harvesting corn. Since transportation costs are real, it's easier and cheaper to have feedlots located close to where these forage/fodder/feed crops are grown to reduce transport costs and time to get the feed shipped to these feedlots. Also, feedlots are operated much like a hotel, there's always groups of cattle that are going to stay in one area for a set period of time (four to five months) then moved out, the pens cleaned, then a new group coming in soon after. Thus, feed has to be ready to be had so that rations can be mixed and fed to these animals.
