I am not familiar with the feeds you are blending with your ground whole corn. Ground corn has a lot of fiber, but I believe you need to treat the calf more like a reumanent than a chicken or hog. I have never used yogurt, but the probios has the natural microflora that live in the reumen, the calf is not feeling well and I'll bet his gut flora is nearly dead, which is contributing to the poor appetite. Use a 1 lb coffee can to measure two scoops of dry beet pulp, soak with equal parts water, then add to feed ration, this will add bulk and fiber and the calf converts it into usable nutriens. You can go to my web site, under links you will find one to Sullivan's, they can send you the probios . Good Luck, let me know how he does, I still raise steers for home harvest, but I also used to do it for competition. Michelle
