Midrash for Bekhorot 71:38
אתא לקמיה דרבי יהושע אמר ליה
and where there is only a question of a fear we do say 'why should he lie'.
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 15:20) "And if there be in it a blemish": This tells me only of an animal that was born unblemished and became blemished. Whence do I derive (the same for) one that was born blemished! From "every blemish."
