A person who provides feed or materials to aid the raising or maintaining of dairy cattle or offspring therefrom has a lien upon the proceeds of the milk or milk products produced from the dairy cattle, for the reasonable or agreed charges for the feed or materials provided and for the costs of enforcing the lien. However, the amount of charges secured by the lien cannot exceed an amount equal to the reasonable or agreed charges for feed or material provided within a 60-day period, and only two providers of feed or materials shall have an enforceable lien at any time according to the priority set forth in Section 57406. Only one lien under this chapter per dairy producer is available per affiliated business supplier.
