If an animal below the required class is given, the collector also receives compensation for the shortfall, so that the assessed obligation is not reduced.
For example, if the due class were worth 100 notional units and the offered animal 75, the 25-unit difference is payable in addition. The figures are illustrative rather than prescribed prices.
