Halakhah for Zevachim 112:2
ודילמא ה"ק רחמנא אי קריב דם האידנא ניתאכיל בשר האידנא ולמחר אי קריב דם למחר ניתאכיל בשר למחר וליומא אוחרא אם כן נימא קרא ביום הקריבו יאכל זבחו למה לי שמע מינה ביום שאתה זובח אתה מקריבו ביום שאי אתה זובח אי אתה מקריבו:
Infer from it: on the day that you slaughter, you can offer; on the day that you do not slaughter, you cannot offer. Yet perhaps this is what the Divine Law means: If he [the priest] presents the blood on the same day, you may eat the flesh on the same day and on the next; while if he presents the blood on the morrow, you may eat the flesh on the morrow and on the day after? - If so, let Scripture write, 'It shall be eaten on the day that he offereth'; what is the purpose of 'his slaughtering'?
Sefer HaChinukh
The commandment of the tithe of pure beasts every year: To tithe all the pure beasts - which are cattle, sheep and goats (Bekhorot 53a) - that are born in our flocks each and every year, and to take that tithe and eat it in Jerusalem after the fat and blood have been offered on the altar (Zevchim 56b), as it is written (Leviticus 27:32), "And all the tithe of your cattle and sheep, all that passes beneath the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord." And they, may their memory be blessed, said in Bekhorot 58b, "How do we tithe? He brings them to a pen and makes for them a small opening, so that two cannot go out at the same time. He places their mothers outside, and they would moan, so that the lambs would hear their voices and exit the pen to meet them on their own and not from the effort of another. And he counts them with a rod, 'One, two, three, four' and so on, until ten. And the one that comes out tenth he marks with red chalk and he says, 'Behold, this is tithe.'"
