If one stole a pregnant cow, and it gave birth, or a wool-laden ewe, and he sheared it, he pays the value of a cow ready to give birth, or the value of a ewe prepared to be shorn.
Other opinions:
If one steals an ewe and he sheared it, or a cow and it gave birth...
* Rabbi Meir – He pays it, its shearings, and its offspring;
* Rabbi Yehuda – the stolen animal returns to the original owner as is;
* Rabbi Shimon – We view it as an article appraised and placed with him according to its cash value at the time of the robbery.
