Midrash for Menachot 163:6

איתמר המתפיס מעות מעשר שני לשלמים ר' יוחנן אמר קני רבי אלעזר אומר לא קני

a wild animal for a peace-offering or cattle for use as ordinary food,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Neither purchase is proper, for wild animals may not be offered as peace-offerings, and cattle bought with Second Tithe money should be offered as peace-offerings only and not be slaughtered for a secular meal.');"><sup>10</sup></span> the hide does not become unhallowed.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is assumed that this means that the hide of the wild beast must be sold and with the money a peace-offering must be offered. Similarly the hide of the cattle must be sold and the money received must be treated as Second Tithe money.');"><sup>11</sup></span> Does not this prove that the peaceoffering has appropriated it?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the sanctity of the peace-offering rests upon the hide so that it must be sold and the money received must be spent on peace-offerings.');"><sup>12</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.
