Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 177

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Because keeping a bechor intact is so hard today, the Kitzur calls selling the pregnant mother to a goy a mitzvah.

Key points

• The Kitzur forbids shearing or working a bechor, blemished or not, and forbids wool that falls off.
• Selling the fetus alone fails in the Kitzur, since it has not yet come into the world.
• The Kitzur requires burying a peter chamor that dies before it was redeemed.
