Comentário sobre Pará 2:2
פָּרָה שֶׁקַּרְנֶיהָ וּטְלָפֶיהָ שְׁחוֹרִים, יָגֹד. גַּלְגַּל הָעַיִן וְהַשִּׁנַּיִם וְהַלָּשׁוֹן אֵינָם פּוֹסְלִים בַּפָּרָה. וְהַנַּנֶּסֶת, כְּשֵׁרָה. הָיְתָה בָהּ יַבֶּלֶת וַחֲתָכָהּ, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה פוֹסֵל. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, כָּל מְקוֹם שֶׁנִּטַּל וְלֹא הֶעֱלָה מְקוֹמוֹ שֵׂעָר אָדֹם, פְּסוּלָה:
Uma novilha [vermelha] cujos chifres e cascos são pretos, eles [os chifres e cascos] devem ser removidos. O globo ocular, os dentes e a língua não o invalidam [de ser totalmente vermelho, se forem pretos]. A corrida é válida. [Se] houve uma fervura que foi cortada, o rabino Yehuda a invalida; R'abbi Shimon diz: Sempre que ocorre uma remoção e os cabelos ruivos não crescem em seu lugar, é inválido.

Bartenura on Mishnah Parah
והננסת (dwarf) – the smallest, for that is a blemish in a human but is not a blemish in an animal.

English Explanation of Mishnah Parah
If the horns or the hoofs of the [red] cow are black they are chopped off. The red cow must have only red hairs. If it has black hairs, they cannot be removed to make it valid. However, if it has black non-hair parts, parts that can be removed without killing or maiming the animal, they may be removed. These include the horns and hoofs.

English Explanation of Mishnah Parah
The eye ball, the teeth and the tongue cause do not invalidate the [red] cow. Some parts need not even be removed if they are black. These include the eye ball, the teeth and the tongue. Removing these "live" parts of the cow would severely damage the cow and therefore this is not done.

English Explanation of Mishnah Parah
One that is dwarf-like is valid. In Bekhorot 7:6 we learned that dwarf-like animals are not disqualified from sacrifices. Here we learn that this includes the red hatat cow.

English Explanation of Mishnah Parah
If there was on it an extra digit and it was cut off: Rabbi Judah says that it is invalid. Rabbi Shimon says: wherever, if removed, no red hair grows in its place is it invalid. Bekhorot 7:6 teaches that if a priest had an extra finger and he cut it off, he can't serve on the altar. Rabbi Judah applies this to the red hatat cow as well. In contrast, Rabbi Shimon says that the cow is invalid only if no red hair grows in its place. If red hair takes its place, it is valid.
