PLEASE READ BELOW: 

Our goats are overall dam raised, we introduce bottles early due to milk testing day ease, however some will start rejecting bottles as time goes on and only want their dam- being ok to eat hay and pellets on milk test day. 

 Bucklings can stay here on their dam until 8 weeks old. 

They can leave after 2 weeks old if they accept bottles or are completely on the bottle. If you prefer bottle raised kids, I would have yours picked up sooner rather than later to maintain him to be a bottle baby as that is not a focus here due to our work schedules.

 8 weeks old is when we wean boys here-  they are separated to another area with ONLY boys at that age. Staying longer than 8 weeks will not have them drinking milk longer than that. If you prefer bucklings to have milk until 12 weeks or later- pick a baby that likes bottles and plan to get them ASAP.
