ועוד שאלתי על השולחים שפחתם לחלוב בלא שמירת ישראל אם מותר אחרי שאין בעדר דבר טמא:
I also asked [in my dream] regarding those who send their maidservant to milk the animals without the oversight of a Jewish person. Is this permissible, since there are no non-kosher animals in the herd?1Mordechai and Rabbeinu Peretz (cited in Beit Yosef, Yoreh Deah 115) both quote a common custom to be lenient in this situation, while ruling against this practice. Sefer Mitzvot Katan 223 rules similarly against this. Sefer Mitzvot Gadol quotes a Rabbeinu Yaakov (Rabbeinu Tam?) who was angry upon hearing that someone was sending his daughter to oversee the milking of their animals, and most or all of the milking was done before she came.
