1. The owner or keeper of any stallion may advertise the terms upon which the owner or keeper will let such stallion to service, by publication thereof in some newspaper of the county where the stallion is kept, for 60 days during the season of each year, or by printed handbills conspicuously posted during such period in four or more public places in the county, including the place where the stallion is kept. The publication or posting, as aforesaid, of the terms of such service shall impart notice thereof to the owner of any mare served by such stallion during the season.

In all actions and controversies in respect to the foal, the owner of the mare so served shall be deemed to have accepted and assented to the terms when so advertised and published or posted as provided herein.

2. When the terms of such service by any stallion, published or posted as provided in subsection 1, shall provide that the mare and foal will be held for the money due for the service of the stallion, then the owner or keeper of the stallion shall have a lien for such sum on the mare from the time of service and on the offspring of the mare served for the period of 1 year after the birth of such foal, which lien shall be preferred to any prior lien, encumbrance or mortgage whatever. The publication or posting, as aforesaid, of the terms of such service shall be deemed notice to any third person of the existence of such lien.

3. Any person who shall sell, convey or dispose of any animal upon which there exists a lien, as created in subsection 2, without the written consent of the person holding such lien, and without informing the person to whom the same is sold or conveyed that the lien exists, or who shall injure or destroy such animal, or aid or abet the same, for the purpose of defrauding the lienor, or who shall remove or conceal or aid or abet in removing or concealing such animal, with intent to hinder, delay or defraud such lienor, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
