Actually sulfer is a natural occuring mineral. There is just differnt forms of it out there. Some places cattle get it from teh ground naturally and seem never to have any problems from getting it. Yes it does usally take 2 days or so to see it working since its slow release.

I have a home mixed mineral mix that has sulfur in it. I haven't been feeding it lately as they don't seem to want to take it without grain and I don't normally feed grain.

you might wanna get this calfs poop looked at by a vet

mine were doing greay poop was getting solid and then yesterday morning went out there and had one dead and one that couldnt get up called the vet in he ran there poop and mine were loaded with worns and cocicidia

might be on the safe side to spend the $10 and have your local vet look at th poop just put it in a bag and take it in and say you need them to check this for cocicidia or worms or something and they will let you know if its good or if he has something

Well, he is back to his old self...drinking all the milk and running around being sassy LOL
I think whatever it was has run it's course.

That is good. If his momma is a Jersey or Dairy cow, little ones will get way too much milk sometimes if let to drink all they want, even after milking. It is kinda hard to regulate they not get too much and get the runs. If he does it again, you can stall him, bottle feed him only the amount he needs each day until his poop gets back to normal. Sometimes they are fine on the momma, sometimes they are little pigs and drink way too much for their tummies to handle.
