<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-autospace:none'><font
size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>On the
question of the BP being deemed to be shechted; this is not so. As the first
Mishnah of B”HaMekasheh explains only those parts of the animal that are
attached to it are included in the Shechitah. If the spleen is detached (a
non-treyfa injury) and left within the animal during shechitah, the spleen may
not be eaten, it has not been shechted. However, the same is not true of the
baby within the cow. That Ubbar is kosher and may be eaten even if it is
detached from its mother and even if it has been chopped into mince, i.e. it
has no simanim and is un-shechtable. There is another proof for this but not
for now.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-autospace:none'><font
size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>On the
comment of Reb Arie; The M”Chochma brings “proof” from the
ShaAr HaMelech who maintains that milk of a BP is Pareve, but he is clearly
defining the MEAT he offered as being BP meat. The terminology of ben and bat
Pekuah is discussed in the halacha and is not compelling. How old the BP animals
are is not relevant beyond the point of them having walked or stood whereupon
they require Shechitah (in most cases) bcs of Maris Ayin.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
