It was considered to be of lessor-value by the goat herders?

That's actually a very good question. I don't have time for the usual backlash today, but I will tell you to search and you will find. Peace

A female lamb could be offered for a person who was not of the priestly family, but for Levites a Male Goat or lamb was necessary. The cost would be less, but the value to God was the same. For a priest a higher cost was needed.

And, if you were extremely poor, a turtle-dove or two would do.

Now, don't confuse me with someone from the local-butcher shop.
Remember, I am just a peasant who survives on the leftovers.

The male goat is to be brought IF it is a LEADER of Israel that sinned, if it was a common man [an israelite], then he is to bring a female goat...There's a distinction here between a leader and a commoner...
