“The reason Dougal gave the food to the village was that they had just been raided by the English, and he was trying to show them the rewards of being loyal to the McKenzies to keep them in the fold. This would pay dividends down the road when they would need all the support they could get against the British in a revolt.
The other village had not been raided and could pay, so Dougal took the money and prizes. E goat was important because they will produce milk even on a meager diet while the women might not produce enough on their own near starvation diet.”
