No. McDonald's does not own any grazing land to graze their cattle in--as a matter of fact, this multi-million dollar franchise doesn't own any cattle at all.
The reality about rainforests being used for grazing is that they are not used for grazing at all. Rainforests are primarily destroyed for the production of crops and for exotic wood products, not grazing land for livestock. Livestock come in and graze after the crops have essentialled "mined" the nutrients from the soil, eating the sparse grasses that have been sown or grew after the farmers have left. There are exceptions, but this is the most common practice that occurs.

Why do they do cattle ranching in the rain forest?
They don't use the rainforest. It's the land that the rainforest was once on that is used. Rainforests are cut down and burned to allow for more farming to be done, and grass seed to be sown so cattle can graze in those areas. The more land that a cattle baron can purchase, the larger his cattle herd can be and the more profit he can obtain when selling excess stock. Land that had been "improved" or been converted from rainforest to agricultural land is cheaper than land that has been used for agricultural purposes, thus making it a good investment for such ranchers to make as a means to increase their land size and thus their herd as well.
