Dear Jack,
That was just my point. All the Hebrew in Num. 19 says is that it must be a
"red cow, that is unblemished, that has never been harnessed." Assuming that
the English "heifer" means "a cow that has never had a calf" (which is not
quite the same as "virgin"), I was wondering where the translators got the
additional conditions from. I don't know of any Rabbibnic sources that add
these conditions.

Interesting discussion on the virginity of Red Heiffers.
Can anybody cite ancient sources (rabbinic) requiring this?
