הַבְּהֵמָה וְהַכֵּלִים כְּרַגְלֵי הַבְּעָלִים. הַמּוֹסֵר בְּהֶמְתּוֹ לִבְנוֹ אוֹ לְרוֹעֶה, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כְרַגְלֵי הַבְּעָלִים. כֵּלִים הַמְיֻחָדִין לְאַחַד מִן הָאַחִין שֶׁבַּבַּיִת, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כְרַגְלָיו. וְשֶׁאֵין מְיֻחָדִין, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כִמְקוֹם שֶׁהוֹלְכִין:

A beast and vessels are "as the feet of the owner." [One may take them on yom tov only to a place where the owner is permitted to go.] If one gives his beast to his son or to a shepherd, they are "as the feet of the owner." [Our Mishnah speaks of an instance in which there are two shepherds in the city, and where it is not known to which one he intends to give it. For this reason, they are "as the feet of the owner" if the beast is not with the shepherd before yom tov. But if there is only one shepherd in the city, all the people of the city place their animals in his keeping and in the "resting" (i.e., the permitted yom tov distance) that he has acquired, and the beast, then, is "as the feet of the shepherd."] Vessels specific for one of the brothers in the house are "as his feet." And those which are not specific [for one, but shared in common] are "as the place where they go." [i.e., Wherever they are permitted to go, they may take the vessels. But if one of them made an eruv two thousand cubits to the north, and the others did not, he prevents them from taking them even one cubit to the south because of his share; and they prevent him from taking it farther than two thousand cubits to the north, which is their permitted distance.]

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

Livestock and implements are judged by the feet of the owners. If he hands over his cattle to his son or to a shepherd, these are judged according to his feet. If it concerns utensils intended for one of the brothers living in the house, so these are judged by his feet. But if they are not destined, they can be taken there where all are going. One may roam in the north according to his Eruv in the south, and in the south according to his Eruv in the north; but when he has divided the territory, he shall not move out of his place.
