A Red Heifer was born in the Galilee just before Parashat Chukat in Israel!
The heifer had a tag on its ear which was removed, and the heifer is still recovering. I have a number of questions.
1. Since it was born by insemination, can it qualify as פרה אדומה?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a suggested that any change in the normal birth and development of the Heifer could likely create a situation of avoidance for the Parah Aduma.
