: Certainly however we kill it it is a Neveilah BUT is it Assur to eat? Hence

It took me a while before I gave up trying to understand this post. You
went over my head.

I am totally confused. I don't think you were asking whether the Rambam's
lav #180, Chinukh #472 exists, or whether it's separate from the issur of
eating a tereifah -- lav #181, Chinukh #73.

So what are you asking?

...
: Now the problem is - how is there an Issur of eating BBCh with the Shellil,
: the non-fully gestated prematurely born cow which will be a Neveilah even
: if it Shechted - if it is already Assur to eat then Ein Issur Chul Al Issur
: will prevent there being a secondary Issur of eating BBCh?

Since BBCh is an issur hana'ah, it is greater than an issur neveilah and
CAN be chal on it.

As for cheilev... Is any of the fat of the shelil cheilev? Is this a lack
of issur on the cheilev of a shelil, or a biological lack of cheilev-type
fatty deposits?

Where this question is coming from:
My understanding is that chayos have no cheilev. Not that the cheilev of
a chayah is permissible.

Tir'u baTov!
