Weening my 4 month goat

[Mtn Farm]

Hello.
My 4 month old goat has 4 full bottles a day. She eats hay and grain but screams for her bottles. My husband's says let her cry but we do have neighbors. What do I do????

They can be persistent little boogers. I have never had to wean a goat but if you start giving less in the bottles and then start cutting out certain feedings maybe that will help? Can you start diluting it with more water?

Probably not a good idea to dilute, but definitely cut down the number of feedings and replace them with high value grains and/or hay.
