Sam2 – Um, no. All of these Masechtos were always learned in the Daf Yomi cycle. You are probably confusing this with a different issue. Namely, Shekalim had no specific pagination unlike the Bavli. When R’ Meir Shapiro first established Daf Yomi , the common Gemaros then had a 13-Daf Shekalim in the back. That is why the first couple of Daf Yomi cycles were only 2,702 days long – nine days shorter than the present one, which is based on the common printing of a 22-Daf Shekalim. (There are also 12- Daf and 30-Daf printings of Shekalim. I personally wouldn’t mind the 30-Daf one!)
