Why does the Torah insert the words "la'Shor ha'Echad"?

1.

Menachos, 91b: Based on the fact that the moment ia calf is born it is called a 'Shor', it teaches us that, as opposed to a sheep, where the Nesech of a lamb is different than that of a ram, the Nesech of a bull is no different than that of a calf. 1

See Torah Temimah, note 20. This D?rashah and the D?rashos in 15:11:2 & 4 seem to be based on the fact that the Torah refers to Shor, Ayil and Seh without drawing a distinction between the two animals that they incorporate ? as opposed to Seh and Ayil.
