<m.Kerithoth 6.2>  

The Law, however, is different with an unconditional guilt-offering: if before the animal was slaughtered, it may go out to pasture among the flock; if after it was slaughtered, it shall be buried; if after the sprinkling of the blood, the flesh must be removed to the place of burning. The Law is also different regarding an ox to be stoned: if before it was stoned, it may go out to pasture among the flock; if after it was stoned, it is permitted for use. The Law is also different regarding the heifer whose neck is to be broken: if before its neck was broken, it may go out to pasture among the flock; if after its neck was broken, it shall be buried on the spot, for it was from the outset brought in a matter of doubt, it has atoned for the doubt, and so has served its purpose.
