How Flying Pig Cattle Co. got it’s name

I had big dreams as a kid.

I wanted to own a farm – I do.
I wanted to rodeo professionally – I don’t.
I basically wanted to rule the world – Depends on the day.

One thing that was never on my dream list? Getting married.

In fact I was firm – and vocal – about my intention to never get married. I was independent. I did what I want. I didn’t need a man.

Never say never.

Flash forward several years, and Colton proposed. Even though we had been dating for a year, we really hadn’t be what our generation would call “Facebook Official.”

We thought, won’t it be funny to post a picture and be engaged, since most people didn’t even know we were together, and i always said i was never getting married. So that’s what we did.

March 31, 2014, we shared on Facebook:
“Well pigs were flying over Hickory Plains on Saturday! We’re engaged!”

 

Flying Pig Cattle Co Name Origin

It was a hit. Our friends and family loved it. In fact they loved it so much, a lot of our wedding presents were flying pig themed. Friends would gift us flying pig items just because they saw it and thought of us.

It got to the point that one day, Colton jokingly said, we might as well call ourselves Flying Pig Cattle Co. I loved it. It stuck.

It was unique, it had a cute story, and it works as a great conversation starter!

And that’s how we came to be Flying Pig Cattle Co.
