This letter was written to the Sfardik Rabonim that wanted to open a National Kashrus Organization.
After this letter of recomendation, I did question Rabbi Belsky & challenged many of Rav Belsky's "facts".
About 10 years ago at one of my visits to Rav Shmuel Wosner, Shlita I asked the following; Most (85% +) cows that are shechted are treif due to lung issues, so how could we drink milk?
Rav Wosner asked how old are the cows when shechted? 10-12 years old. So he said that many of treifahs we don't use is because of sofek.A sofek treifa doesn't live more than 12 months, so for the 11 years it wasn't a treifa which would be 95% of the milk. The last year we would asser the last 3 days of milk when we find that the cow is a treifah due to lung issues, etc.
The last three days of milk is not sold commercially, because it's removed from the milking herd to be sent to shechita.

Rav Heshel Shachter tried to convince rav elyashiv that all the milk is treif since the milk cows areall treif when shechted and RYSE wasn't maskim

so what are you trying to show with this letter?
read the comments on the following blog.
So you admit that according to Rav Wosner the milk is not treif?
According to Rav Wosner, Shlita all of the operated cows are indeed treif. So all of the Cholov stam is cholov treif.
What's the "three days" all about?
So could you reword what you wrote?
It's mashma from what you write that only 3 days of a DA cows life it is treif and that it is already out of milk production by then. How would ANY milk be treif according to this?
The treif that we find by 85% of the cows are "NOT DA's" but lung issues. The Halacha says the last 3 days of milk from a treifa by the shechita (lung issues, etc) should not be used. A DA is right away a definite treifah not a sofek treif.
Still, it seems the cows are living more than 12 months after the procedure, so why would they be vadai treifa and not like the lung issues?
The DA's are a definete treifah, so 12 months is not a criterea.
Where do the poskim write that an animal living more than 12 months is definite treifa?
oy nebach! oilam with a vaday treifah (mifursim) listed in the mishana it is lo malah vlo morid if it lives 12 months that would not matir it.
Dear Rav Yudel,
I cannot read the letter from R. Belsky. Please post in a more readable form.
Thanks
