In the fall of 1919 J.M. and Albert bought two train car load of sheep. Jerry Putman still has the ledger that shows the expenses. Lambs cost $25 each and the sheep cost $40 each. Rams varied in price from $50 to $115 each. They unloaded the sheep at Avoca and herded them to Pea Ridge.

Carol Putman - Here is a story my Dad told me about Albert's sheep. I remembered a few more details and mother gave me some, as well. ... The dog appears to be a Border Collie. When the sheep Albert Putman had purchased were shipped from Canada by train in 1919, his son, Joe, was just four years old. The sheep must have made a very strong impression on Joe even at that age. As a child, he must have delighted at the bleating animals with their frolicking lambs. As he told it, there was much excitement and anticipation on the Putman farm at the arrival of this special breed of sheep which were to be Albert's newest enterprise and a livelihood for this young man with a growing family. The sheep were purchased because they produced an unusually high quality wool which was much desired at market and brought a handsome price. To help herd the new arrivals, Albert also bought a somewhat expensive sheep dog that was trained to care for the flock. The dog quickly became as prized a possession as any. She was young Joe's constant companion when she wasn't moving her woolly charges about the barnyard. Joe Putman at about age four with the sheepdog thought to be the one Albert purchased in 1919 to herd his sheep. Photo courtesy of Carol Putman The sheep were kept in a small pen and, as was the custom at the time, the pen was constructed with a fence made of a stiff, heavy-gauge wire mesh strung between wooden posts set several feet apart. Late one night, and without any warning. there came up an especially bad electrical storm. As a body, the sheep scurried from one side of the pen to another, terrified at the chaos and confusion. Finally, in a moment of quiet between lightening strikes, they huddled together, side by side, at one end of the pen -- up against the metal fence. Again, a single lightening strike crackled through the night air. This time, however, it hit the metal fence where the sheep were huddled. In an instant, most of the entire flock were electrocuted. The enormity of the event became apparent at the break of dawn. Bodies of dead animals lay in a charred, woolly mass at one end of the pen. Among the dead were survivors, but those clinging to life were injured with burns that would certainly kill them in the coming days. It soon became evident that the humane thing to do would be to destroy those that were so badly injured. The wool, which was to be Albert and Lela's income, was now charred ... and worthless. In order to dispose of the carcasses of the dead animals, and to prevent the possibility of disease, they would have to be removed from the pen and burned. It must have been an awful sight ... the smoke rising from the pyre of dead animals ... and the smell of charred sheep flesh filling the air. When he told me this story, Joe said that, from that day forward and because of his memories, he did not eat lamb nor could he stand the smell of lamb cooking. It must have had a very strong emotional impact on him, even at four years old ... and rightfully so.
