you don't have to, but it's more convinient for the doe and you if you wean it yourself.
It is better to wait to wean the goat until it is 12 to 14 weeks of age as the rumen is not fully developed until 10 weeks of age.
To wean a bottle-fed goat, gradually reduce the amount of milk being provided and start introducing solid food such as hay and grains. Monitor the goat's weight and behavior during the weaning process to ensure they are adjusting well. Provide fresh water at all times to encourage the goat to drink independently.
This is a question that could be answered differently by every goat farm. On an average, bucks are weaned at 3-4 months, does are weaned 4-5 months. However, left to their mother's discretion, a mother goat allows the baby to wean naturally and longer than humans will.
It typically takes around 8-12 weeks to fully wean a goat kid from its mother's milk. The process should be gradual to prevent stress on both the kid and the mother. Start by introducing solid food and reducing milk feedings slowly over time until the kid is completely weaned.
WEAN-FM was created in 1992.

The best solution is to wean the foals together. Their ages are so close together that a little earlier or later won't make much difference.
Typically goats are weaned at 90 days. If you leave them on the doe, the doe will wean them herself, but it may not be until 5-6 months old. This varies from doe to doe. **** If you are choosing when to wean them, it is more important to pay attention to the weight and health of the kid. If they are eating solid food well (grain and hay) and weigh around 30 pounds, they can be safely separated from their mothers.
