Sefer HaChinukh
From the laws of the commandment is that which they, may their memory be blessed, explained (Bava Kamma 41a) that whether it is a muad (known as likely to cause damage) or a tam (tame), it is stoned for any [person] that it kills, be it a man or a woman or a child or a slave; that we only finish its judgment in front of it owners, if it has owners (Sanhedrin 99b); and [that which] they also said (Sanhedrin 44a) that there are many angles through which the ox kills but is not stoned. And the rest of its details - are elucidated in [Bava] Kamma (see Mishneh Torah, Laws of Forbidden Foods 4).
