Why did I get so little for connecting to this market? SHouldn't I have gotten animals in herd * land tiles in chain? It's an 8 tile land chain...

Multiply the number of animals in the herd times the number of lands that the herd borders on.

First example: if the herd is two animals long and only one land tile is adjacent to the herd: 2x1=2 pesos.

Second example: If the herd is two animals long and the herd touches two land tiles: 2x2=4 pesos. (Note- this is from one animal touching two land tiles)

Third example: You already have a herd to a market and the herd (one animal) is touching three land tiles. You bring a second herd to market that links to the market and the first herd . and one animal is touching three land tiles. You now have 4 animals and are touching six land tiles so your income will be 4x6=24 pesos.

Adding to fr33py's comment:
The basic game earns money for length of herd + total length of land chain they connect to.
Variant 1 earns money for length of herd * number of land tiles the herd physically touches (not the total length of the land chain).
It's an easy mistake to make the first time.
