Today the Gemara teaches a Torah law requiring a person who claims that he will bring a sacrifice immediately must bring that offering on the first day of one of the shalosh regalim, the three Festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot). If there is a delay, he is transgressing this mitzvah daily.
Rav Ashi says that this was a reference to Shavuot when the second animal was sacrificed, which would have been the first opportunity to sacrifice the animal after Pesach. Rav Zevid quotes Rava saying that the animal or the owner might have been ill and unable to bring the sacrifice on Shavuot and so it was left until the next Sukkot.
In Massechet Rosh HaShana (6), the Gemara states that the sacrifice must be brought within the annual cycle of holidays.
