SUMMARY
1. If a needle is found in the thickness of the reticulum and it penetrated through to the outside, and a drop of blood is found in the needle, the animal is a Tereifah.
2. If a scab developed on the puncture hole, we may assume that the puncture hole occurred at least three days prior to the Shechitah.
3. If no scab developed on the puncture hole, we cannot know when the puncture occurred.
4. According to Rebbi, if the needle protruded into the thickness of the reticulum only on the inside, and a drop of blood is found on the outside directly opposite the puncture, the animal is a Tereifah.
5. If an animal was left on a roof and was found on the ground, we assume that it jumped safely to the ground, and there is no concern for mortal wounds to the limbs, and it is Kosher.
6. If an animal is dragging its hind legs behind it, is assumed to be a mere cramp, and it is Kosher.
7. If rams butt each other with their horns, there is no concern that they became a Tereifah, even if they are in obvious pain.
8. If thieves steal a ram and throw it over a wall, there is no concern that it became a Tereifah, because they are careful to throw the animal so that it lands standing up, not on its back.
9. If one hits an animal on its back with a stick, and the stick is arched, and he hits the animal on its head and tail or even across the entire back, the animal is Kosher and there is no concern for mortal wounds to the limbs.
10. Rav Huna states that an animal may be slaughtered on the day of birth, as there is no concern that its limbs were crushed as a result of the trauma of birth.
11. When a butcher pushes the animal to the ground for the purpose of Shechitah, even if he pushed it from a height of ten Tefachim there is no concern for mortal wounds to the limbs.
12. If an animal fell off of a roof and it stood up, it may be slaughtered immediately, but it must be inspected. If it walked after the fall, it does not require inspection, according to Rav. Rav Chiya bar Ashi disagrees.
13. Rav maintains that if the animal extended a foreleg in an attempt to stand up, it is considered as though it stood up. If it raised a hind leg in an attempt to walk, it is considered as though it walked.
14. If a bird was slammed into a body of water and it subsequently swam upstream, or it swam in still water for at least the length of its body, there is no concern for mortal wounds to the limbs.
15. If a bird flew into a garment that was stretched tightly over pegs, or into a net with knots that were close together, there is a concern for mortal wounds to the limbs.

A BIT MORE
1. Since a drop of blood was found on the needle, we can be certain that the puncture occurred prior to Shechitah, rendering the animal a Tereifah. However, if no blood was found on the needle, we can be certain that the puncture occurred after Shechitah and the animal is not a Tereifah.
2. Thus, if the Shochet purchased the animal within three days of the Shechitah, it must have been a Tereifah at the time of the purchase, and the sale is a Mekach Ta'us.
3. Since it cannot be proven that the animal was a Tereifah at the time of purchase, the sale is not a Mekach Ta'us because of the rule of ha'Motzi me'Chaveiro Alav ha'Re'ayah.
4. Since a drop of blood was found in the outside wall of the reticulum, the needle must have protruded all of the way to the outside, and the animal is a Tereifah,
5. If a an animal fell off of a roof and one slaughtered it without waiting 24 hours, it is a Tereifah because of the likelihood of mortal wounds to the limbs.
6. Although it is possible that the spinal cord was injured, it is more likely that it is a cramp, and it is not necessary to inspect the spinal cord for an injury.
7. However, if the rams fall to the ground as a result of the butting, there is a concern for mortal wounds to the limbs.
8. If the thieves return the ram by throwing it back over the wall, then there is a concern for mortal wounds to the limbs, because the thieves do not care how it falls. However, if they are returning the ram because they have done Teshuvah, then they are careful to throw it in such a way that it lands upright and there is no concern for Tereifah.
9. However, if he hit the animal until the midpoint of its back, or if the stick has stubs of branches protruding from it, or if he hit the animal across the width of its back, there is a concern for mortal wounds to the limbs.
10. Even if the animal was unable to stand on the day of birth, it is Kosher and there is no concern that its inability to stand is a result of mortal wounds to the limbs which occurred from the trauma of birth.
11. Since the animal digs its hooves into the ground when it starts falling, its fall is broken and we may assume that there is no mortal wounds to the limbs.
12. According to Rav Chiya bar Ashi, even if it walks it requires inspection of the spinal cord and ribs in order to ascertain that they are intact.
13. Rav Chisda maintains that even if it merely stirred but did not extend a leg in an attempt to stand up, it is considered as though it stood up.
14. However, if it swam downstream, it may have been carried by the water and did not swim with its own power, and there is a concern for mortal wounds to the limbs.
15. However, if the garment was folded over, even if was stretched taut there is no concern for mortal wounds to the limbs, because a folded garment cannot be stretched as taut as an unfolded garment.
