Goats are never "weaned" from their feeding. When they are lactating they are fed a high protein grain. The only time you don't feed this is when they are dry.

As a lover of chevon, I fed milk up to the day of slaughter. Buck kids for herd replacement or sale, usually 3 months, also.

Water the milk down progressively each day, until you're feeding them water straight out of the bucket or bottle. At the same time introduce them to the water trough, by putting water in their mouths and in and around their nose, until they find it good to drink by themselves. When you do wean them from the bottle, DO NOT GIVE IN TO THEIR PROTESTS. They will bawl for you for a few days, but it will soon stop IF you do not give in to them. They will soon forget about it all and go find better things to do than to complain to you about not being bottle fed.
