Notes - According to dad (Brian W. Kirkpatrick), Jack Shortt was the "brand inspector" for southern Alberta. Apparently, he also used to be an artist - a painter. But he contracted MS and had to quit.
An from dad on February 19, 2013:
"Yes he would go anywhere that cattle were being sold and examine the brand to determine that it was legit. and could be sold, basically to stop rustling and prove that a brand had not been changed. After uncle Jack they started using the RCMP for brand inspections."
