If the owner of any impounded livestock fails to redeem the animal within three days of impoundment, or if animal and environmental control cannot identify the owner, the animal shall be sold at public sale at a time and place named in a notice of sale or disposed of in accordance with policies established by the director of animal and environmental control. The date of sale shall not be less than ten days from the date of the posting of such notice.
