Almost all types of grains are used to fatten cattle. Mostly the type, specifically, depends on location and availability. For instance, most Western Canadian feedlots fatten up cattle with barley, versus corn predominantly used in the United States and in Eastern Canada (emphasis being the feedlots in Ontario). Other grains that can be used include wheat, oats, rye, flax, triticale, etc. Oilseeds like mustard, sunflower and canola are primarily used as a by-product feed after they've been processed for their oil.
