On complying with the provisions of this article, the owner of a stallion or bull shall have a lien on each mare or cow served together with the foal or calf of such mare or cow from such service, for the amount agreed on at the time of service, or if no agreement was made, for the amount specified in the statement hereinafter required to be filed, if within twenty months after such service he files a notice of such lien with the proper officers and in the same manner as is required to perfect a security interest under paragraph two of subsection (a) of section 9--501 of the uniform commercial code.
