     35.10 Indemnity subject to lien or mortgage on animals. 

    If an animal is condemned and killed by the state pursuant 
 to law, indemnity is provided, the animal is subject to a 
 mortgage or other lien, and written notice of the lien is given 
 by the lienholder to the board or officer whose duty it is to 
 order payment of the indemnity before the indemnity is ordered 
 paid, then the lien attaches to the indemnity to the same extent 
 it attached to the animal and the indemnity is payable to the 
 owner and the lienholder. 

    If the owner and lienholder execute and deliver to the 
 board or officer, on blanks furnished by the board or officer, a 
 written agreement providing for the distribution and payment of 
 an indemnity, payment must be made as specified and directed in 
 the agreement, a copy of which must be transmitted by the board 
 or officer to the officer by whom payment is to be made; 
 otherwise the indemnity must be placed in the custody of the 
 district court of the county in which the animal was condemned, 
 in the manner provided by the Rules of Civil Procedure for the 
 deposit of money claimed adversely by two or more persons, and 
 the state is relieved from further liability for the indemnity.
