Where sheep form the majority and goats the minority, the ordinary discharge is from the majority kind. Paying with a minority-kind animal is not automatically treated as a direct like-for-like animal discharge; a value-based discharge is a distinct possibility.
For example, 30 sheep plus 10 goats make forty and produce one-animal liability, but selection for payment must take the majority kind into account.
