"Shortly after birth a tag was attached to the heifer's ear, as required. After the animal's potential became apparent, the tag was removed, and last week Rabbi Azaria Ariel conducted a comprehensive examination of the heifer. According to him, she was found to be completely red, and he was also impressed by the rate of healing of the ear."
"Following the examination the institute's staff decided to call the heifer "Temima", out of hope she will remain "temima" [=pure] both in the appearance of her body and in the color of her coat."
"At the same time the institute's beth midrash is expected to discuss halakhic questions regarding the heifer's status, including the issue of healing of the defect created in the ear and its implications for her future fitness as a red heifer. According to institute staff, the goal is to examine the halakhic and practical issues required for fulfilling the red heifer commandment in the future." FULL STORY at above link.
