108.560  Disposition of livestock in settlement of pasturage or feed bills: Appraisement; sale; right of redemption.

      1.  If the bill or claim for pasturage or feed for livestock in the judgment of the person furnishing the pasturage or feed equals the value of the livestock pastured or fed, and the owner of the livestock has failed or neglected to pay for the pasturage or feed, the person furnishing the pasturage or feed may have the livestock appraised by three competent and disinterested freeholders. If the appraisement does not exceed by 10 percent the amount of the unpaid pasturage or feed bill, upon the recording of the appraisement with the county recorder of the county in which the livestock is situated, the title to the livestock vests in the person furnishing the pasturage or feed and the person may sell the livestock, subject to the right of redemption mentioned in subsection 2.

      2.  At any time within 1 year after the recording of the appraisement, the original owner of the livestock may redeem the livestock from the possessor thereof by paying or tendering as payment to the possessor the amount of the appraisement together with 25 percent of the appraisement additional as damages. If payment or tender is not made by the original owner within 1 year after the recording of the appraisement, the title of the possessor of the livestock is absolute.
