Mesorat%20hashas for Bekhorot 2:2

כָּל הַקֳּדָשִׁים שֶׁקָּדַם מוּם קָבוּעַ לְהֶקְדֵּשָׁן, וְנִפְדּוּ, חַיָּבִים בַּבְּכוֹרָה וּבַמַּתָּנוֹת, וְיוֹצְאִין לְחֻלִּין לִגָּזֵז וּלְהֵעָבֵד, וּוְלָדָן וַחֲלָבָן מֻתָּר לְאַחַר פִּדְיוֹנָן, וְהַשּׁוֹחֲטָן בַּחוּץ פָּטוּר, וְאֵין עוֹשִׂים תְּמוּרָה, וְאִם מֵתוּ יִפָּדוּ, חוּץ מִן הַבְּכוֹר וּמִן הַמַּעֲשֵׂר:

If the blemishes of consecrated [animals] precede their consecrations, and they are redeemed, they are subject to [the obligations of] the firstborn and the [priestly] gifts. They leave [their consecrated status] to become unconsecrated and [thus] may be shorn and worked. Their offspring and their milk [from] after they have been redeemed are permitted. If one slaughtered them outside [the Temple courtyard] he is not liable. They do not make [their] replacement [sacred]. If they die they may be redeemed, except for firstborn and tithe [animals].
