6 cows × 20 silver = 120 silver
Next were the goats.
Tormund led them to a separate pen where six goats stood clustered together, three males and three females.
They were healthy and alert, their coats clean, their eyes bright.
They moved with the kind of nervous energy that goats always had, their heads turning to watch the approaching strangers.
They were good for meat, and breeding, the kind of animals that would multiply quickly and provide a steady supply of food and income.
"How much?" Darion asked.
"Twelve silver each," Tormund said. "They're good breeders. Healthy stock, from a reliable line."
Darion studied them for a moment. They were smaller than the cattle, but they were also more efficient. Goats could survive on rougher terrain, could produce milk and meat with less feed, and they bred faster than cattle. They were a smart investment.
"Fine," Darion said. "I'll take them."
6 goats × 12 silver = 72 silver
