Update: Sold.
We're selling our livestock trailer and I decided to post it here first, before listing it on Marketplace, etc., to give our friends the first chance to buy it. It is a 2007 Featherlite 16' trailer with a center gate in the middle. It has been a great trailer for us with no issues. PM me for more information if you're interested.

With all the goats leaving, this big guy doesn't really have a job to do. He's too good of a LGD to go to waste. I'd love to place him in a good spot. He's about a 7-ish year old Maremma (was a DNA'd rescue, so we don't have an exact birthday). He lives full time with goats (adults and babies), chickens, and one odd duck. He loooves people. And he appears to dislike coyotes, bobcats, and the neighbor's dog. Doesn't jump fences. Just stays where he is put and protects what is in there. He's neutered, but he's pretty alpha if you're thinking of a pack situation. PM me if you're interested.

After 10 wonderful years in the goat world, we made the difficult decision to disperse our herd. Our girls are mostly placed, and we are so grateful they have found such wonderful homes. We have loved being part of the goat community and have made many friends and many memories. This wasn’t an easy decision, but we feel like it is the right one for where we are in life. Now we’ll sit back and cheer you all on.

We do still have a few goats left. Please reference our website - www.novellafarm.com - for what is available.

We are a small homestead farm in Orlando, Florida dedicated to raising conformationally correct and productive Nigerian Dwarf goats. Our goats are all ADGA registered. We are also proud members of the Nigerian Dwarf Goat Club of Florida.

We're so grateful to our friends at The Tucker Farm - Moon Station Nigerian Dwarf Goats for letting Castle Rock Sunthin' Special come visit us and breed a few of our does! Special is the son of 2019 National Champion and National Best Udder winner, CH Castle Rock Tahitian Sunset, and we're thrilled to have him here.

For all you Castle Rock Pineapple Express fans out there this is the buck who's stepping up to carry that incredible legacy forward! Special's sire's dam is CH Castle Rock Polar Vortex (Pineapple's littermate sister), and Special seems to be filling Pineapple's hoofprints (is udderprints a thing?) quite nicely.

We can't wait to see what amazing kids he will produce! Stay tuned for updates!

Road trip weekend! It was an epic merger of a college visit and a goat swap. Classic combo. We took Annabelle to see her future teammates and team play games this weekend. Go Stormy Petrels! And we combined that with a trip to The Tucker Farm - Moon Station Nigerian Dwarf Goats to drop off a couple of goats and pick up a very special delivery!

Winning Streak EB AStarIsBorn (GCH Winning Streak CM Starla, EEEE92 x Phoenix Farm Exotic Bird +*B) is bred to CH Wood Bridge Farm Noble Icon, and we are quite excited about it! "Lady Gaga," as we call her, won her junior leg at her first show, and then went on to be selected junior BIS. We've been excited about Lady Gaga because we love her dam, Starla, and also because we have watched the success of her full siblings (see Winning Streak EB Lucky Star in the Winning Streak herd). This cross is a fun linebreeding on GCH Wood Bridge Farm CountNBlessns because Starla's sire GCH Wood Bridge Farm Count On Me is Icon's littermate brother.

Flat Rock's Alchemy is confirmed bred to CH Wood Bridge Farm Noble Icon! This is a repeat of last year's breeding, which produced the lovely Arianell (pictured). We grabbed a working clothes picture of her today and even unclipped you can see how much she is the spitting image of her dam. These kids will also be 3/4 siblings to Novella Farm REV Mystic (also pictured), because both Noble Icon and Mystic's sire, Agape's Prize Reverend CQuinn, are CH Wood Bridge Farm CountNBlessns sons. We've been so happy with how these lines have worked together, so we're excited to keep it going!

Our breeding schedule for '25/'26 is up! Castle Rock Sunthin Special (son of 2019 National Grand Champion and Best Udder Castle Rock Tahitian Sunset) will be visiting from Moon Station for a brief Florida vacation. Wood Bridge Farm Noble Icon has bred a couple of does here already. And Winning Streak R Virgil is with his first girls. We can't wait to see these kids!

Raiding our keeper pen: Doe #2. Second on the list is a doe kid out of Novella Farm GR Arwen x Moon Station Aberama Gold. Arwen (Novella Farm Rev Mystic x CH Sweet Garden Gioachino Rossini) is quite a promising yearling FF out of one of our favorite does on the farm. And Aberama Gold is the littermate brother to the 3rd ever Nigerian Dwarf to appraise EEEE93. Added bonus is that this kid is line bred on Agape’s Prize Reverend CQuinn. I took a little video to show a snippet of what the doe kid looks like on the move (see comments). PM for more details. https://genetics.adga.org/PlannedPedigreePrint.aspx?SireNum=D002150457&DamNum=D002397303
