Sec. 10.
Having complied with the provisions of this act, the owner of any stallion shall have a lien for the sum stipulated to be paid for the service thereof, upon the mare served by any such stallion in breeding thereof, and upon the offspring of such stallion by filing at any time within 18 months after the date of service, a statement of the account thereof, together with a description as to color, and white markings of the female served, and the name of the owner at the date of service, in the office of the register of deeds of the county wherein the owner of said female resided at the time of service. Such lien shall exist for a period of 1 year from the date of foaling of said colt, or if credit is given, from the expiration of the credit, and shall have priority over all other liens and encumbrances upon the offspring. Neither the mare nor the foal shall be sold within 18 months after the date of service, unless the service fee shall be paid, unless such sale shall be agreed to and approved in writing by the owner of the stallion at the time of the sale or transfer of the mare or foal. At any time after the offspring shall have been foaled, any person having such lien may enforce the same by the same proceedings and in the same manner as is provided by sections 13189 to 13192, inclusive, of the Compiled Laws of 1929: Provided, however, That the owner of any such stallion may institute suit to collect the lien in the county in which the mare is served.
