This depends on your area and what type of cattle you are feeding. Beef and dairy cattle will eat different types of food as will mature bulls, yearlings, dry cows, and pregnant cattle. Dairy cattle are usually fed a TMR (Total Mixed Ration) consisting of soy beans, corn, and hay. Dairy calves are fed a calf starter ( a grain that is high in protein to aid growth and digestion). Yearlings will eat a corn mixture usually with oats to aid in healthy digestion and growth. Again, this changes for each location and what the farmer seems fit to feed the cattle. Growing feedlot beef cattle will eat a high energy corn for an increase of weight gain. Dry females and pregnant females will usually eat silage, insilage, some farmers will feed dry cattle a specific ration that costs more.
No one. Dairy cattle where merely selected through the process of artificial selection from ancient breeds like the Celtic Shorthorn and the Aurochs, to produce more milk than what is needed to feed a calf.

They eat normal cattle feed including hay, they will usually be fed a high energy grain such as corn.
