A Must Have for dairy goat owners, January 26, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Dairy Goats, 4th Edition: Breeds, Care, Dairying, Marketing (Paperback)

I have recently become a goat-owner and this book has been indispensable for me. I refer to it over and over, far more often than any other book I own on dairy goats and believe me, I did my research and am the proud owner of several goat books now. I really like Jerry's down-to-earth methods and his attitude about goats. I became much less "afraid" of starting on this journey after reading this book. The "barn calendar" at the end (to-do list for each month of the year) is GREAT!

Lives up to its title with practical, no-nonsense basics on all dimensions of goat care, December 9, 2010

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) -

This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Dairy Goats, 4th Edition: Breeds, Care, Dairying, Marketing (Paperback)

Written by veteran goat raiser Jerry Belanger and licensed cheesemaker Sara Thomson Bredesen, Storey's Guide to Raising Dairy Goats is now in a newly revised fourth edition, enhanced with updated information on diagnosing and treating diseases, expanded coverage on breeding, tips on pygmy goat breeds, more material on milking and cheesemaking, and an expanded resource section. Raising Dairy Goats lives up to its title with practical, no-nonsense basics on all dimensions of goat care, and is an absolute "must-have" for anyone considering a dairy goat of their own. "If you can't or won't want to milk at 12-hour intervals, even when you're tired or under the weather, or if the thought of staying home weekends and vacations depresses you and you can't count on the help of a friend or neighbor, then don't even consider raising goats." Also highly recommended is the revised and updated second edition of "Storey's Guide to Raising Meat Goats" by farmer and animal husbandry expert Maggie Sayer.

Goes Well Beyond Direct Customer Service, June 24, 2006

Pele (Los Angeles, CA) -

This review is from: Treat Your Customers: Thirty Lessons On Service and Sales That I Learned at My Family's Dairy Queen Store (Hardcover)

This book is a valuable tool for anyone who is in the service business - not just direct retail. Miglani's lessons are easily transferable to lawyers, doctors, brokers - anyone who has direct contact with clients. His easy style and relatively straight foward anecdotes may lull one into thinking that this stuff is easy - but as anyone who has dealt with the DMV, an airline or a phone company can tell you - it's not. I thought this book really cut it down to basics, and should be required reading for anyone who sells to or interacts with customers - no matter what their product or service. Whether you a newbie at your first job behind the counter, or an experienced exec at a large company, this book is filled with valuable gems that will help you improve your relations with your suppliers and customers.

Customer Service Lessons With a Cherry on Top!, June 27, 2006

K. Sharma -

This review is from: Treat Your Customers: Thirty Lessons On Service and Sales That I Learned at My Family's Dairy Queen Store (Hardcover)

Author Bob Miglani does a great job in reminding us the all-important rule in any business: THE CUSTOMER IS KING. Treat your customers is filled with great anecdotal stories from Miglani's experience of working at his family-owned Dairy Queen. Reading this book reminds everyone of the importance of customer service and how it leads to success. Working for the sales division of a huge retail tech company I cant stress the importance of customer service enough. Miglani offers fun and creative examples of some very simple and important guidelines. Excellent book and a must read.

This review is from: Treat Your Customers: Thirty Lessons On Service and Sales That I Learned at My Family's Dairy Queen Store (Hardcover)

This book gets to the real basics of customer service. If anyone has noticed, customer service anywhere has seriously gone downhill - there is no emphasis on making the consumer a first priority anymore! Whether you are in the food service industry or a doctor or an airline - read this book!!! Your customers will thank you!

Comment on organic milk? by jeff n

jeff n — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:02:28 +0000

There are many reasons why organic milk is better. Most non-organic dairy is made in gigantic factories that are rarely cleaned thoroughly. The milk is treated in a variety of ways to make it last longer and there are a lot of chemicals involved.

Organic milk is usually milked on small farms. There are few if any added chemicals. It’s just milk! Do not be fooled by an “Organic” sticker on a Dannon (or any other large company) milk carton – the rules on labelling food as “organic” are very lax.

Better to find an organic store which buys things as a rule from small organic farmers. Also you can try soy milk, which I prefer because it lasts longer and has no chance of upsetting your stomach due to lactose intolerance.

A few years ago I moved to an apartment that is very close to an organic store, and slowly I found myself doing more and more food shopping there, and I have never felt better in my life.

Enjoy!
