What's really funny about that is I live in Ontario, California and when we order things via catalog or internet we often get asked if we are in Canada. My husband just had that happen last night, we ordered something from a company in New York.

Or Gardengal when you go online to schedule your flights and heck if I can remember the airport initials....type in Ontario and it jumps to Ontario Canada!!!!LOL
BTW how is the smell in your area after this rain? My grandparents lived on a farm but they were beef cattle and they rotated fields so it wasn't that bad. That smell doesn't really bother me but after it rains and those cattle (at least along the 15) are standing in mounds of it! After a rain and it starts to warm up. Holy Cow!!!! One of my friends lives over in Chino and they raise Dairy cattle. He has a lot of problems because it makes a sticky swamp and a couple of his cattle actually went head first in it and drowned. They have the mounds but there was one cow I remember that he would go pull it out a couple times and no matter what it would go right back and do the same thing. Lets just say that cow will never be doing that again!!!
Hope your not downwind of the dairy farms!!!

I'm close to what's left of the dairy farms. There used to be so many more but they are slowly being moved out and being replaced with houses. Even down along the 15 housing tracts are popping up where dairies once stood. I don't know where they are going. From what I've been told is that the dairies used to be all closer to LA and have moved slowly this way. First they were pushed to Norwalk then to Chino then spread over to Ontario/ Norco. Now they are being pushed out over here. Its kind of sad, although I won't miss the flies! On really misty or foggy mornings the smell is pretty strong, otherwise we usually don't notice it. When I was little we used to say when something smelled really bad that is smelled like Chino. Now I live here. Oh well.

Someone just told me every once in awhile they give out free aged manure in Chino. Have you heard about that? Maybe I should borrow my daughters NEW (its a 2000 but new to her)truck and fill it with stinky manure!!!LOL When I was young all Rowland Heights, Industry, Walnut, Chino used to be filled with cattle. Now almost all homes. Toooo many people!!!! There is still a guy who owns long horned cattle in Diamond Bar. The cut through to Brea mall that parallels the 57. Used to go Grand for along time to Chino Hills and now all the cattle are gone from there except at the low spot...you know where they built the access to the otherside for the cows under the road! I moved from that area about 1 1/2 years ago I wonder if those cattle are still there!
I just wish they would clean out the areas for the dairy cattle more often. I see them standing in all that yuck and sometimes it gets pretty deep!

There are a couple of places that will put manure out on the side of their property, near the road, and anyone with a truck or a way to get it can load up. I've witnessed people shoveling it into a trunk of an Accord type of car. I'm not sure if they realized that smell will never come out.
I think those cows are still there off the 57. Every once in a while we still see them on our way to Brea or Disneyland. When I was little we lived in Fullerton but my mom taught school in Alta Loma (Rancho Cucamonga) so we commuted everyday along the 57. I loved seeing those cows, I often wondered who they belonged to. I'd always to them and still do if I see them.
And I agree, they defintely need to clean those dairy farms more often, poor baby cows are up to their little knees in yuck. I've often told my hubby that if I owned cows they would be clean happy cows living in a clean pasture. He just laughs...
