Midrash for Menachot 163:1

ושלמים שם שם ממעשר [ומינה] מה שלמים אין גופן מעשר אף תודה נמי אין גופה מעשר והני חיטי הלקוחות במעות מעשר שני נמי אין גופן מעשר

And in respect of peace-offerings [this is derived] from the expression 'there' stated [in connection with peace-offerings]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XXVII, 7. And thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings and shalt eat there.');"><sup>1</sup></span> and also in connection with the Second Tithe.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XIV, 26: And thou shalt eat there. Thus by analogy it is established that peace-offerings may be brought from Second Tithe.');"><sup>2</sup></span> Then it follows, as peace-offerings are not brought from actual Second Tithe produce.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For Second Tithe is taken from corn only, and so cannot actually be used for peace-offerings. What is meant is. of course, that the money obtained from redeeming Second Tithe produce may be used for buying animals for peace-offerings.');"><sup>3</sup></span>

Sifrei Devarim

"sheep and cattle": Does the Paschal offering not come from lambs and kids? If so, why "sheep and cattle"? Sheep for the Pesach offering and cattle for the festive offering (chagigah), and to compare all that comes from sheep and cattle to the Pesach, viz.: Just as Pesach is a mandatory offering and comes only from chullin (non-consecrated) animals, so all mandatory offerings must come from chullin.
