How much was a cow in the 10th century?

It is very difficult for our contemporaries to assess the purchasing power of tenth century people, let’s try to figure it out. For example, the Vikings appreciated things that could bring specific benefits to the economy, so that they could feed their families. The cow was a very valuable purchase, since she gave milk from which dairy products were made, when the time came she was slaughtered and she was a source of meat, that is, food. Clothes were sewn from the skin. The cost of the cow was approximately 102 grams of pure silver. Two slaves could be bargained for for her.
