Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)
Vivariums for game or poultry - one is not allowed to take care of them on a holiday and give them food; but one may catch game or fowl and imprison and give them food. R. Shimon b. Gamliel says: Not all vivariums are created equal. This is the rule: Anything requiring additional capture is forbidden; anything that does not require additional capture is permitted. One may slaughter animals from cages, but not from nets and not from fishnets. R. Shimon b. Elazar says: Set his net if he comes up on the eve of the holiday and comes on the holiday and finds it damaged, behold, it is permissible for him; it is clear that the animal was caught the day before the holiday. If he comes and finds it as it was, it is forbidden to him; it is obvious that the animal was caught on the holiday.

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)
What is "One shouldn't reserve one's cattle for a part of a piece of cattle only on a holiday"? He shall not say to anyone: I am your partner for one sela, or: I am your partner for two sela, or: I am your partner for three sela. Rather he says unto him: I am your partner for a half, a third or a quarter of the beast. but the otherwise say: The scale must not be considered at all; rather he weighs it in his hand and lays it down. If the butcher is skillful, let him not weigh, because his hand is like a weight; but he may cut it off with an instrument and give the flesh to one or another.

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)
No one shall put anything before his sons or his cattle by measure or weight. But if he fetches something with a sea or with a terkab, he may serve it to his cattle; he fetches it with one ladle, he may put it before his sons; only he should not pay attention to it For this they have from R. Elazar b. R. Zadok and Abba Shaul b. Botnit said that they had been traders in Jerusalem all their lives and that on the eve of a holiday they filled their measurements and gave them to the buyers on the holiday because of disruption of the house of study; but the other sages say: Even on a working day they did so because of the complete emptying of the Dimensions. He also collected jars of oil and his colleague pitchers wine because of the complete emptying of the measure, and they brought it up to the treasurers. They said to them: You are not obliged to do this. They said to them: We don't want them. They said to them: Since you have made the law stricter for yourselves, they belong to the public; the needs of the public should be satisfied with it!
