To the Zebu advocates: Any mehadrin frozen meat comming to EY from South America will have a “guaranteed no zebu” stamp on the kashrus label. The Chazon Ish, as others before him read that Shach out of its context, (horn characteristics of chaya) to equate the “we only go my mesorah in determining chaya status as we do by birds” to we use the mesorah limitation of birds to all determinants of animals. He gave a reason, that we may dismiss as not relevant today, and we may say that he was given wrong information, yet things change very slowly here, and many will not dare go against the Chazon Ish. As an a former American, in my carnivorous past I ate bison, and if I was zoche to a situation in which I could keep cows, I would keep Zebu. It is rumored to have an incredible “glatt rate”.
