Old Time Branding By Larry & Jane Stanfel During the summer months, the Siemion boys worked as Charlie Hall's ranch hands, their widowed mother, as his cook. In this painting Steve, who passed away here several years ago, pins down the calf as his elder brother brands it. Charlie, himself, was known to be very camera-shy. This painting, executed on old barn wood, was selected as the 2008 icon for the annual Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Lewistown.
