Dairy guys wean at two months or less, but they're directly swapping milk for 20%-protein calf starter. If you have some way to get those calves onto a good-quality calf starter for a few weeks prior to weaning, they should do fine. Expecting a two-month-old to transition from milk to forage is a futile though.
How small can I wean and still be a good idea?
