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.
