§651-20 Judgment satisfied out of attached property. If judgment is recovered by the plaintiff, the levying officer shall satisfy the same out of the property attached by the levying officer which has not been delivered to the defendant or claimant, as in this chapter provided, or subjected to execution on another judgment recovered before the issuing of the attachment, if it is sufficient for that purpose:
(1)By applying on the execution issued on the judgment the proceeds of all sales of perishable or other property sold by the levying officer, or so much as shall be necessary to satisfy the judgment; and
(2)If any balance remains due, the levying officer shall sell under the execution so much of the property, real or personal, as may be necessary to satisfy the balance, if enough for that purpose remains in the levying officer's hands. Notice of the sale shall be given and the sale conducted as in other cases of sales on execution. In all cases the personal property shall first be sold.
