הֵעִיד רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וְרַבִּי פַּפְּיַס עַל וָלָד שֶׁל שְׁלָמִים, שֶׁיִּקְרַב שְׁלָמִים. שֶׁרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר שֶׁוְּלַד שְׁלָמִים לֹא יִקְרַב שְׁלָמִים. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, יִקְרָב. אָמַר רַבִּי פַּפְּיַס, אֲנִי מֵעִיד שֶׁהָיְתָה לָנוּ פָרָה זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים, וַאֲכַלְנוּהָ בַפֶּסַח וְאָכַלְנוּ וְלָדָהּ שְׁלָמִים בֶּחָג:

R. Yehoshua and R. Papyas testified about the offspring of a shelamim (peace-offering) that it is sacrificed as a shelamim. For R. Eliezer says that the offspring of a shelamim is not sacrificed as a shelamim, [but it is placed into the stable (and left there) until it dies — a decree; for if you say that the offspring of a shelamim has amendment (by being sacrificed), he will come to delay the (sacrifice of the) mother until she gives birth, and raise flocks of offspring and come to shear (their wool) and work them]. And the sages say (that the offspring of a shelamim) is sacrificed. R. Papyas said: I testify that we had a cow for a shelamim (sacrifice), which we ate on Pesach, and we ate its offspring as a shelamim on the festival [of Shavuoth. For if he waited until Succoth he would be in transgression of the positive commandment, viz. (Deuteronomy 12: 5-6): "…and you shall come there… and you shall bring there," the implication being that the first festival that you come there (after the vow), bring there all the vows binding upon you. (However, he is not in transgression of [Ibid. 23:22]: "…you shall not delay to pay it" until three festivals have passed.)]
