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. You start again about 2 weeks before birth, usually with simple corn. If you mean bottles, doe kids that are herd replacements, usually 3 months. Meat kids longer to get a better quality meat. 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.

The meat goats are Boer goats, which is their breed, but often dairy goat wethers (boys that are unable to produce offspring) are killed and eaten. Angora and Cashmere goats are goats that are bred for their wool, just like sheep. Their wool is fluffy and curly. Their are many breeds of Dairy goats, although common are Saanen's, Nubian's, British Alpine's, Toggenburg's, Sables and Australian Melaan. Saanens are white in colour and produce the most milk, although Alpine's milk is creamier. Nubians are strange, as they have very long ears!
