weaning age?

[SouthGAMan]

Alright I will readily admit that I am not an expert although I am not a total newbie either. For the last approximately 4 years I have had at least a couple of goats on the property....mainly for brush control, making compost, and helping to keep me occupied. I have a very good doe who gave birth to a buckling somewhere around March 20th (the exact date was on my old phone which decided to commit suicide by drowning unfortunately). I haven't seen the buckling nursing for awhile, and he appears to eat both feed and browse with no issues. I didn't wether him but figured someone might want him cheap. He is mostly pygmy but admittedly has some ND in his blood as well. He looks like he will be on the small size. I don't want to get rid of him too early, but I don't want to keep feeding him forever. I have 2 other goats as well...a buck (born in December) and a doe (born in Feb), both have some Kiko blood in them and unsure what else.
So my question is shouldn't he be weaned at this age? I can't recall the last time I even seen him nurse but his mom's udder doesn't look totally empty either.

Yup. Just about right. Twelve weeks.

He is plenty old enough to wean now. He may or may not have already done so. The fact that you haven't caught him nursing is no indicator however. I recently decided to go ahead and wean a 5 month doeling, thinking she was pretty much already weaned at that point. Once separating her, I soon discovered she'd been sucking down close to 3/4 gallon per day! It was a pleasant surprise as I am milking her mother once per day now. If you do separate them keep a close watch on mamma, if she's still producing a lot you may have to start milking her or keep baby with her a bit longer until she's ready to dry off.

Also, at that age, he is plenty ready to start breeding, so hopefully he has not bred his mother or any other doe in the pen, but he might have....just so you are aware.

depends you can wean them from 8 weeks to 20 weeks depending upon demand and herd management
