Today's daf includes a Mishna discussing what should be done when one brings a female animal as an asham, a guilt offering, when only males are sanctified as guilt offerings. The Mishna tells us that we can wait for the animal to develop a permanent blemish and then the animal can be sold. At that point the money is sanctified and it can be used to purchase an appropriate asham. Rabbi Shimon disagrees. He argues that because the female animal is already 'blemished' in that she is the wrong sex, we do not have to wait for her to develop a mum, blemish.
The Gemara questions how much influence the kedushat ha'guf, inherent holiness, might be related to kedushat damim, its monetary value. Rava decides that an animal that is fit for sacrifice is consecrated for its value automatically receives inherent consecration and must be sacrificed instead of being sold.
