(Beraisa): We may move mustard, for doves eat it, and Chatzav (an herb whose roots go straight down), for deer eat it, and glass, for ostriches eat it.

Objection (R. Nasan): If so, we may move twigs, for elephants eat them!

R. Shimon ben Gamliel permits Luf (a legume), for ravens eat it.

Question: What is the case? If he has that species, and the species is common in the market, all permit. If he does not have that species, and the species is not common in the market, all forbid!

Answer: Rather, the case is, he does not have that species, but the species is common in the market. Rabanan say that since the species is common in the market (he could easily buy it), it is as if he has that species. R. Shimon ben Gamliel says, since he does not have that species, it is as if it is not common in the market. (I.e. being common in the market does not permit him. We explained this like HA'GAON RAV C. KANIEVSKY, SHLITA.)

(Mishnah): If bundles of straw, wood and soft pruned reeds were prepared for animals to eat, one may move them. If not, one may not.

One may tilt a basket on its side in front of chicks to enable them to climb or descend on it;

If a hen fled, one may push it [with his hands] until it enters [the coop];

One may be Medadeh calves and colts (hold them and make them walk);

A woman may be Medadeh her son;

R. Yehudah says, this is if he picks up his feet and steps. If he drags his feet, it is forbidden.

(Gemara - R. Ze'ira): (Our Mishnah permits moving animal food only if he prepared it.) It is unlike R. Chanina, who says that we used to ascend with Rebbi to Chemas Gerar, and he told us "choose for yourselves smooth rocks, and you may move them tomorrow'' (intent suffices)!

Rebuttal (R. Yosah): Here (i.e. there) is different, for [the rocks] are like a seat. (Intent suffices to only when it is already proper for the use. We explained this like SEFER NIR.)

Objection (R. Lazar): Our Mishnah teaches bundles of straw. Are they not as if they are scattered (they are already proper for animals to eat, yet our Mishnah requires preparation! - PNEI MEIR)

Question: (Above (3:7), R. Yirmeyah and R. Ba both cited R. Yochanan. One said that R. Meir holds that anything special for Isur is forbidden. The other said that anything designated for Isur is forbidden.) A Mishnah opposes the one who said "anything special for Isur''!

(Mishnah): A rock on a barrel - [if one wants to move the barrel], he tilts it on its side and it falls.

Answer (R. Ba citing R. Chiyah bar Ashi): The case is, he forgot (he did not intend to leave the rock on it, so it did not become a Bosis).

Question: A Beraisa argues with the one who said that anything special for Isur is forbidden!

A Mishnah teaches that one may invert a basket in front of chicks to enable them to climb or descend, and [a Beraisa] taught about this that if they ascended by themselves, one may not move it! (This is not difficult for the one who forbids even temporary designation, even though it is not special for Isur.)

Answer (R. Bun bar Chiya): The case is, [the basket] is repulsive (it is special for chicks. We explained this like RIDVAZ 3:7.)

Objection: R. Hoshayah taught that even a Kli that measures a Se'ah or half-Se'ah [becomes forbidden]. Can you say that a Se'ah or half-Se'ah measure is repulsive?! (They are easy to clean, and he needs them, so he is destined to clean them!)

(Mishnah): One may not pull the fetus from an animal on Yom Tov, but he may help it give birth (this will be explained);

One may pull the fetus from a woman on Shabbos, call a midwife from place to place, be Mechalel Shabbos for her (the mother), and tie the umbilical cord;

R. Yosi says, one may even cut it.

One may do all needs of Milah (circumcision) on Shabbos.

(Gemara): What is helping [an animal to give birth]? He brings wine and blows it [on the calf], and blows in its nose, puts his hand below and receives the calf, and takes the udder and puts it in the calf's mouth.

R. Shimon ben Gamliel says, we may even arouse [the mother's] love [if it distanced the calf] on Yom Tov. How does he do so? He puts a clump of salt on its womb [and it remembers the pain of birth], and it wants to nurse her child.

(Mishnah): We call for her a midwife from place to place.

This is like a Mishnah taught there - not only this (witnesses who left their Techum to testify about the new moon), rather, even a midwife who comes to deliver [may go anywhere in the Techum of the city she came to].
