§ 57535 Lien Notice To Secured Creditors

• •If you want to claim a lien (a legal right to keep someone's property until they pay you), you must tell any secured creditors (people who have a legal claim on the same property) at least 30 days before you enforce the lien.
• •Secured creditors are those who have a legal claim on poultry, eggs, fish, or their products, or the money made from selling them.
• •This rule is to make sure everyone who has a claim on the property knows what's happening.

A farmer owes money to a feed supplier, and the supplier wants to claim a lien on the farmer's chickens to get paid.

The feed supplier must tell any bank or other creditor who has a legal claim on the chickens or the money from selling them at least 30 days before taking the chickens.
