In today's Hamodia. See the bottom of the front page. Make of this what you will. They have a color picture. She is so beautiful. She is owned by a frum farmer.

The frum farmer wouldn't take a million dollars for her. That's good. She belongs right there where they know how to take care of her.

What is the significance? Did they specify that the cow never carried anything?
Why would it be important if we can't prepare it today if we are not pure?

Good questions. I think that because they're not so common we get excited, and hopeful, and let our imaginations run away with us.

This book was great and it explained the concept of Parah Adumah in a fictional story:

It's important because moshiach can come at any time and we'll need a red heffer, but for it to be kosher we need to know that it was raised properly and never had a yolk on it, so it has to be found in advance.

The frum farmer knows the halacha. The heifer has never carried anything. The place where it is kept has an electric fence around it. The article was in Hamodia, Thursday, March 26, 2015, front page.

It was magnificent. (Of course you have to know how this author works and be prepared for the contemporary folklorish twist. Which is fine. It's just why I didn't pass the book on to my then too-young son. He wouldn't have appreciated it.)

This usually only happens when cows are raised together with chickens.

In the Reb Moshe book it says he was very unimpressed when a red heifer was born in Israel. He said "The Para Adumah has to be at least two years old.Mosiach will have to find a different one..."

Wind eggs or rooster eggs are common in young and old laying hens. They have zero to do with a chicken being raised near or with cows.

But having a yolk on a heifer is unusual unless an egg laying hen is around. Or it is the object of an egg throwing contest.

A Yoke, on the other hand, is what must be avoided.

Let us not tease each other's spelling mistakes.

This heifer will be two years old, in just a few days.

I think that was a facetious response to the poster's misspelling of the word "yoke."


ETA: Cross-posted, oh well.
