Call the vet. I have never lost a calf after weaning. If one died, I would freak out, two in two weeks? I'd be frantic!!! Call the vet!

If you can't/won't do that, here are my questions...

What kind of hay are you feeding? Do they have mineral? Are they getting anything else to eat?

Any symptoms at all? Snots? Scours? Uncoordinated? Fever? Droopy ears? Lethargy? Are they eating well? If you take a bucket of feed out, so they run eagerly to eat it?

Have they had their shots? When? What? Both rounds? Have they been wormed?

Blackleg vaccine is usually included in a 7-way clostridal vaccine. Also good for haemopholus (can't remember how to spell it), pasturella and some other nice calfhood illnesses. If you only could give one shot to weaned calves, I'd choose this one, though we also give a 4 or 5 way.

A bottle of 50 doses of 7-way costs $11.
