Commentary for Kiddushin 101:4

שאני מעשר בהמה דאיתיה בטעות דתנן קרא לתשיעי עשירי ולעשירי תשיעי ולאחד עשר עשירי שלשתן מקודשין

- Cattle tithe is different, because it is valid in error. For w learnt: If the ninth was proclaimed 'tenth', the tenth, 'ninth', and the eleventh, 'tenth', all three are sanctified.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is not the same as the case mentioned in the previous note, where the eleventh is deliberately and knowingly called 'tenth'. - Hence, just as the eleventh is sanctified when it is designated 'tenth' in error, so are the tenth and the eleventh sanctified when designated simultaneously. But if one marries a second sister after the first in error, the second marriage is invalid; consequently they are invalid simultaneously.');"><sup>7</sup></span>

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

Cattle tithe is different because an animal can be considered tithe even if one makes a mistake in counting. Just as in the mishnah cited here, animals that are not the tenth can be considered tithe, so too in Rava’s example of the tenth and eleventh coming out of the pen together, both can be considered tithes. But kiddushin cannot be done accidentally, and therefore, if the kiddushin cannot be done one after the other, they also cannot be done simultaneously.
