Decision i'm the Cow Case

"That sales of this character, being
III dcrOgatiOn of the common law rights
of the ownership and without rigid
and full compliance with the law a
substantial compliance is not sufficient.
If the notice is not given in strict ac-
cordance with the law the sale is void
and the burden is on the defendant
here to show such compliance.
Hence, as the statute requires that
the printed notice shall contain a de.
scription OF the flesh marks of tho
animals, as well as it's marks and
brands, and as the notice shown as
evidence in this case contained no
reference to the color or flesh marks
of the heifer in controversy. the court
finds that the notice was insufficient.
the sale void, and that plaintiff is
entitled to recover. Judgment will
accordingly be entered for plaintiff
with cost"
