Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 12-1229: Disposition of property

The court shall make proper orders for the preservation of the

property during the pendency of the suit; it may direct a sale of

property, when, because of its perishable nature; or of the costs of

keeping it, a sale will be for the benefit of the parties. In

vacation, such sale may be ordered by the judge of the court. The

sale shall be public, after such advertisement as is prescribed for

the sale of like property on execution, and shall be made in such

manner and upon such terms of credit, with security, as the court or

judge, having, regard to the probable duration of the action, may

direct. The proceeds, if collected by the sheriff, with all the

monies received by him from garnishees, shall be held and paid over

by him, under the same requirement and responsibility of himself and

sureties, as are provided in respect to money deposited in lieu of

bail.
