[Avodah] Milk is Produced also by non-Kosher parts of the Cow

The Gemara Chullin 69a documents a very strange discussion.

R Yirmiyah asks - is the milk from a cow that has an Issur Yotzeh, Kosher?
An Issur Yotzeh is generated when a foetus in utero extends a limb to the
outside and then the mother is Shechted.
That limb is permanently prohibited and cannot be made Kosher. The rest of
the foetus is Kosher.

The Gemara explains - ALL milk ought to be Assur, because it comes from a
living animal and is like Eiver Min HaChay, and only by force of a special
Limmud is it Kosher.
On the one hand perhaps that also permits the milk of the cow with the
Issur Yotzeh
on the other hand, perhaps the Torah only permits milk from a prohibited
source which CAN BE revoked via Shechita, whereas the Issur Yotzeh cannot
ever be revoked which makes the milk Assur.

Why is the Issur Yotzeh different from the Cheilev and Gid that are present
in every cow that produces milk?


Best,

Meir G. Rabi
