The owner or person in charge of a stallion, jack or bull 

 has a lien on the dam and offspring, provided that within 

 ninety days after the service he files with the recorder of 

 the county where the dam is situated, a notice containing 

 a particular description of the mare, when served and 

 the amount of lien claimed. This notice operates as a 

 notice to subsequent purchasers and incumbrances in good 

 faith for one year from the date of filing. Provided also, 

 that every owner of a sire charging a service fee shall file 

 a statement under oath, with the auditor of the county in 

 which the sire is kept, "giving the name, age, description 

 and pedigree as well as the terms and conditions upon 

 such sire is advertised for service." 



The lien upon the get is valid for eighteen months from 

 the date of birth and has priority over all other liens and 

 encumbrances upon the get, provided that within twelve 

 months from the service the stallioner files with the aud- 

 itor of the county wherein the service was rendered a 

 statement of account properly verified, giving the amount 

 due and a description of the female. 



If in a suit for service fees the court in rendering judg-

 with the statute and that the get of the service is subject 

 to the lien, the get is not exempt from execution on such 

 judgment.
