Midrash for Chullin 141:6
(דברים יד, ד) זאת הבהמה אשר תאכלו שור שה כשבים וגו' איל וצבי ויחמור וגו' הא כיצד
Whence do we infer that cattle are included under the term 'wild animals'? - For it is written: These are the wild animals which ye may eat; among all the cattle that are on the earth, whatsoever parteth the hoof.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XI, 2,3. A literal translation of the verse. The term at the head of the verse signifies the class of animals spoken of, and among that class, forming a section thereof, are mentioned cattle to which these rules apply. Hence it is apparent that cattle are included under the term 'wild animals'.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 14:4) "This is the beast that you may eat: the ox, the lamb of sheep, and the kid of goats, the hart, the gazelle, and the fallow deer" — whence we derive that animals (the last three) are in the category of "beast."
