Agistors Liens

Q1. What is an agistor’s lien and where can I find more information?

A1.  An agistor’s lien is a lien that may be filed for the amount due for the feeding, herding, pasturing, keeping, ranching, boarding, or medical care provided for the livestock entrusted to the agistor. This may be filed using a UCC 1 Financing Statement form. An agistor’s lien may also include all costs associated with the enforcement of the lien. For more information on agistor’s liens, see the Agistor’s Lien Act, sections 38-20-201 through 38-20-210, C.R.S.

 

Q2. Where are agistor’s liens filed?

A2.  Agistor’s liens may be delivered for filing to the Secretary of State’s office or recorded with the County Clerk and Recorder where the livestock is located.

 

Q3. When does an agistor’s lien expire?

A3.  An agistor lien is effective for the entire period during which the livestock is held by the agistor. If the livestock is sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of by someone other than the agistor or agistor’s agent, the lien continues and attaches to the proceeds of the sale, exchange or disposition.
