Owninig a Cow is not a zero cost option. A cow might be "worth" 20 Wealth, but only if you sell the cow. A typical Carl's herd of cows provides an annual excess of 15 wealth (which is why adding "Three Cows" might not increase your wealth at all at the scale at which HW operates. a 3% increase on 15,000 is still 15,000 to the nearest 1,000...)

I don't think you should be talking about adding "A cow" to your wealth anyway, but "1 Wealth's worth of Cow" or whatever - This probably means the Rich clan leader takes a more cows when everybody gets "1 Wealth's worth" of cows - but then he probably does anyway (unless he forgoes raising his wealth in favour of spending his HP on increased relationships with the raiding party by letting them take more cows....)
