Midrash for Bekhorot 71:78
אמאי
There, where it is a case of consecrated animals without [the Temple precincts], he will not eat<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Unblemished consecrated animals. Consequently, unless the expert had permitted the firstling on the evidence of witnesses, he would not have declared that the firstling was permitted to be slaughtered by him.');"><sup>43</sup></span>
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."
