The Just-A-Wee Farm herd name, established in 2007, is owned by Katherine Pielemeier, and the Flim Flam Farm herdname, owned by Kitty Pielemeier, was established in 2012. Both herds currently live together in Decatur, Michigan. We actively participate in DHI and linear appraisal, and are an ADGA Plus herd. 

​

Our dairy goat adventure started in 2001 with a toggenburg wether named Brownie, joined a few years later by a lamancha doe named Raven. Meant to be nothing more than a 4-H project, the first registered breed doe was purchased in 2006, a lamancha doe named Cierra who, as of 2022, is still with us approaching her 16th birthday. The first kids with the Just-A-Wee Farm herdname were born in 2008, and Kitty decided to purchase her own does a few years later, taking on the farm's original name, Flim Flam Farms, for her herdname. 

​

We attended our first ADGA show in 2015, had our first appraisal in 2016, and attended our first National Show in 2018. That first Nationals was truly a wonderful experience, and inspired us to really ramp up our breeding program. In 2019 we added year round milk testing through DHI to our program, which has not only allowed us to assess our does milking performance, but also to adjust our feed program to improve both milk production and show conditioning throughout the year. We strive to breed does who can sustain a moderate but consistent lactation through the variable Michigan weather, as well as handle the stress of an active show season while maintaining their lactations.
