[Avodah] Ben Pekuah

[Meir Rabi]

I have been learning for a while the sugya of Ben Pekuah. I am interested
primarily in the lomdus but also in the practical considerations.

I would appreciate any thoughts on or off the list.

I will offer this as a starting point: the Mishnah Chulin 74, says that if a
pregnant beast is killed the foetus is prohibited since the mother was not
shechted. The problem is: what is the HaVa AmiNa, would we ever have
considered that such a foetus is kosher without Shechitah?

>From a practical perspective we should ponder the following: since it is
relatively easy to procure and then breed BP with one another and this
provides a herd of BP [YD 13] why is this not pursued as a method for having
animals that are all kosher as BP are not Treifos in spite of any blemishes
they may have.
