[Avodah] Meshech Ch & Ben Pekuah more info

[Meir Rabi]

Thank you all for your interest and observations.

 

Reb Micha raises very interesting points. I wish I knew enough to comment.

On the question of the BP being deemed to be shechted; this is not so. As
the first Mishnah of B"HaMekasheh explains only those parts of the animal
that are attached to it are included in the Shechitah. If the spleen is
detached (a non-treyfa injury) and left within the animal during shechitah,
the spleen may not be eaten, it has not been shechted. However, the same is
not true of the baby within the cow. That Ubbar is kosher and may be eaten
even if it is detached from its mother and even if it has been chopped into
mince, i.e. it has no simanim and is un-shechtable. There is another proof
for this but not for now.

On the comment of Reb Arie; The M"Chochma brings "proof" from the ShaAr
HaMelech who maintains that milk of a BP is Pareve, but he is clearly
defining the MEAT he offered as being BP meat. The terminology of ben and
bat Pekuah is discussed in the halacha and is not compelling. How old the BP
animals are is not relevant beyond the point of them having walked or stood
whereupon they require Shechitah (in most cases) bcs of Maris Ayin.
