Commentary for Kiddushin 82:3

והא דתנן חבורה שאבד פסחה ואמרו לאחד צא ובקש ושחוט עלינו והלך ומצא ושחט והן לקחו ושחטו אם שלו נשחט ראשון הוא אוכל משלו והם אוכלים ושותים עמו

But let Scripture write [it] in respect to terumah, and these [marriage and divorce] would come and be derived from it? - Because one can refute [the analogy], since it is possible by [mere] intention.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A person may decide to separate a part of his grain (e.g., that in the right or left corner) as terumah and then eat the rest. This is obviously a leniency, and it may be argued that that is why one can also appoint an agent.');"><sup>7</sup></span> Again, as to what we learnt: If a company lose their Paschal sacrifice<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The passover sacrifice was eaten by a group of people who had joined and arranged beforehand to eat a particular animal: unless one had thus 'counted himself in' before it was killed he could not eat thereof.');"><sup>8</sup></span> and instruct one [of their number], 'Go out, seek it, and slaughter it on our behalf; and he goes, finds, and slaughters it, while they [also] take [an animal] and slaughter [it]: if his is slaughtered first, he eats of his, and they eat<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cur. ed.: eat and drink, but Wilna Gaon deletes 'and drink'.');"><sup>9</sup></span>

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

This source is from Mishnah Pesahim 9:9. The issue is related to the halakhah that one cannot eat from a pesah offering for which he is not registered. However, it is cited here only because the company appoints an agent to go slaughter a pesah on their behalf. How do we know that one may appoint an agent for such a matter.
