Midrash for Chullin 269:47
ומנא תימרא דאמר ר' יוסי
And whence does R'Ila'i know that that which is held jointly with a gentile [is exempt]? - He derives it from the beginning of the verse, which reads: The first of thy corn,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XVIII, 4. The firstfruits of corn held jointly with a gentile is not subject to the offering of terumah; likewise it is reasonable to infer that sheep held jointly with a gentile are not subject to the law of the first of the fleece; consequently the later expression 'thy sheep' excludes that which is held jointly by Israelites.');"><sup>26</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"your flock": and not that of others (i.e., of gentiles [that you have purchased]). From here it was ruled that one who purchases the shearing of a flock belonging to gentiles is exempt from the (obligation of) the first of the shearing. The shearing of his flock (that he purchased) from his neighbor — if the seller left over (of the shearing itself) for himself, the seller is liable (for the first of the shearing); if he did not, (i.e., if he told the buyer: The first of the shearing of the Cohein is with you), the buyer is liable.

Sifrei Devarim
"shall you give to him": There must be enough for a gift — whence they ruled: How much does he give him? The weight of five selaim in Yehudah, which is ten in the Galil, cleansed, for the making of a small garment.
