The two puzzles are as follows:

Pigs = 71
Sheep = 78
Bulls = 91
Horses = ?

Mauve = 39
Green = 26
Cream = 21
Black = ?

These are the last 2 puzzles in a word puzzles challenge that we have entered at our local and we cannot seem to find a way to solve them.

All help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

2) 14

sum the positions in the alphabet of the 1st, 3rd and 5th letters

e.g. for MaUvE that's M U E = 13+21+5 = 39
thus for BlAcK that B A K = 2+1+11 = 14
1) a solution (and it's probably not the one they are after) is 98:-

each consonant is worth 20, each vowel 5, sum them and add 4; thus

pigs = 3x20 + 1x7 + 4 = 60 + 7 + 4 = 71
sheep = 3x20 + 2x7 + 4 = 60 + 14 + 4 = 78
bulls = 4x20 + 1x7 + 4 = 80 + 7 + 4 = 91

horses = 4x20 + 2x7 + 4 = 80 + 14 + 4 = 98
