§ 11-20-203 — 29-7-206. Sale at auction; offspring to be sold first; disposition of proceeds; remedies not exclusive

If a female animal and her offspring are taken under a lien, the
offspring shall be sold first. If the proceeds are sufficient to
pay the expense incurred in taking possession under the lien,
the filing fee and the costs of notices, then the female animal
shall not be sold. After deducting the expense from the proceeds
of any sale, the remainder of the proceeds, if any, shall be
returned to the person entitled to them. The lien herein given
shall not exclude any holder of a lien from abandoning it and
recovering the amount due him by an action at law.
