ע"כ לא פליגי אלא בחששא אבל היכא דודאי רבעה פסלה ש"מ דפרה קדשי מזבח היא דאי קדשי בדק הבית מי מיפסלא בה רביעה

The difference of opinion up until here is only in regard to suspicion [of bestiality], but if we know for certain that he had bestiality with it, it is unfit. From here then you can deduce that the [degree of sanctity of the red heifer] is that of sacrifices offer on the altar; for if it had only the sanctity of those [dedicated] to repairs of the temple, even bestiality would not disqualify it.
