**ספק**בכור שנולד מפרה זקינה שהיתה חולבות מכבר קיי"ל (בכורות דף כ': ע"ש בתו' ד"ה חלב) דחלב אינו פוטר ואם מת אותו ספק בכור טעון קבורה עם עורו כמו ודאי בכור שמת כדתנן פ' טבול יום (זבחים דף ק"ג:):

**Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg, his life and his works, by Irving A. Agus. Philadelphia, 1947:**
*Q*. A bought from a Gentile a cow that already was yielding milk. Should the cow bear a male calf in A's house, would such calf be unfit for eating purposes for fear lest it be a firstling?
*A*. The fact that a cow yields milk is no proof that she has already given birth to a calf, for it sometimes happens, though very rarely, that a cow yields milk even though she has not as yet given birth.
