[Avodah] Non Terief Cows for Milk - Why Not BP Cows? Even Better.

[Rich, Joel]

Anyway, the solution to all these issues is quite simple. Raise a herd
of dairy Beney Pekuah cows. Such beasts are never disqualified due to
any internal or external blemishes. So we could raise a herd of
guaranteed non-teriefa cows and be positively assured that all the milk
came exclusively from KC, Kosher Cows. Is that Kashe LiVeRuRe?

There is an additional benefit. The Acharonim argue about the status of
a Ben Pekuah's milk; is it Chalav Shechuta and therefore Pareve or is it
Chalav of a "mother", an Eim (as in Lo SeVuShel BeChalav Imo) and
therefore "normal" milk? At least the ShaAr HaMelech and R Akiva Eiger
consider BP milk to be pareve.

I believe that Rabbi Moshe Heinemann was once toying with the notion of
setting up a Ben Pekuah Kosher herd for meat production. Has anyone
heard of such a thing?

=======================================================
See Mishnah Halachot 16:130 - he specifically states that the fact that
no one ever tried the ben pakuah route proves it was not needed!  The
basic thrust of the tshuva aiui is that it's ridiculous but I'm looking
for a compelling reason that differentiates it from other cases,
especially given the high % of treifot reported.
