Zevachim 75: Bringing Guilt and Peace Offerings Together

Today's daf discusses guilt offerings and peace offerings that are brought together  for sacrifice.  

Asham, Guilt Offering
Shelamim, Peace Offering
Blood is sprinkled on two corners of two sides of the altar
Blood is sprinkled on two corners of two sides of the altar
Sacrificed in the northern part of the Temple courtyard
Sacrificed anywhere in the courtyard
Eaten anywhere in the Temple courtyard
Eaten anywhere in Jerusalem
Only eaten by male kohanim
Eaten by anyone
The sacrifice is eaten on the day it was brought up until the following evening
The sacrifice is eaten on the day it was brought until the following two evenings


Rabbi Shimon ruled that when these different sacrifices are consecrated together, both are treated more stringently like the asham, the guilt offering.  Other rabbis disagreed.  They stated that consecrated animals should not be brought into a circumstance where they will become nullified when they are meant to be eaten.  However, in a case where the animals had already been slaughtered with no opportunity to redeem and exchange them, the sacrifices should be brought as guilt offerings.
