[Avodah] RHS/Dairy

[Micha Berger]

On a related (but not the same) note:

We raised the question of how you know what set we're talking about the
rov of -- rov cows, rov dairy cows, rov cows on this farm, this kind of
farm, this country's farms...

It reminded me of the question of teisha chaniyos. Why do we go by rov
stores? Perhaps the treif store did a brisk business and outsold the
kosher sources? Why not count rov peices of meat?

R' Prof Moshe Koppel suggests in one of the issues of Higayon that the
relevent set is the set of kavu'os. The store is qavu'ah, and therefore
the magnitude, the amount of meat it sells, becomes irrelevent.

Tir'u baTov!
