חולין פרק ז׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
גיד הנשה. ובמוקדשים. אפילו עולה שכולה כליל, מוציא את הגיד ומשליכו על האפר הצבור במזבח הקרוי תפוח, ואינו מקריבו עם הבשר:
שאין לו כף. אין לו כף ירך דומה לשל אדם שהוא עגול, אלא הבשר שעל הקולית של עוף ברוחב הוא. ואם נמצא עוף שיש לו כף עגול, גיד הנשה שלו אסור:
ונוהג בשליל. בן תשעה חי הנמצא בבהמה:
רבי יהודה אומר אינו נוהג בשליל. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
וחלבו. של שליל מותר. פירוש אחר וחלבו, של גיד. כלומר שומנו של גיד מותר לדברי הכל, אלא שישראל קדושים נהגו בו איסור:
ואין הטבחים נאמנים. לומר נטלנוהו. מפני שטורח הוא להם לחטט אחריו. ואין הלכה כרבי מאיר:

Mishnayos Chullin Perek 7 Mishnah 2
חולין פרק ז׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
שולח אדם ירך לנכרי וכו' – and we don’t take into consideration lest a Jew should see it when he sends it to him and he returns and purchases it from the heathen and eat it with its sinew. For since it is whole, the place of the sciatic nerve is known if it was hollowed out from it and the purchaser understands that it was not removed, and he removes it.
שיטול את כולו – he will hollow it out afterwards.
לקיים בו מצות נטילה – he peels the fat off even (see Talmud Hullin 92b) from the top and that is enough.
שולח אדם ירך לנכרי וכו׳ ואין חוששים שמא יראנה ישראל כששולחה לו ויחזור ויקנה אותה מן הנכרי ויאכלנה בגידה. כיון דשלימה היא, מקומו של גיד הנשה היה ניכר אם נחטט הימנה, והלוקח מבין שלא ניטל ונוטלו:
שיטול את כולו. יחטט אחריו:
לקיים בו מצות נטילה. גוממו מלמעלה ודיו:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

גיד הנשה. ובמוקדשים – even a burnt offering which is burnt entirely, he removes the nervus ischiadicus (i.e., sinew of the hip, the sciatic nerve) and casts it upon the ashes of the communal altar that is called “pile” (the place on the altar where the ashes are piled up) and it is not offered up with the meat.
שאין לו כף – it does not have a hollow [of the thigh or a spoon-shaped hip] similar to that of man which is round, but the rather, the meat that is upon the thigh-bone of the fowl is in its width. And if fowl is found that has a round sole, its sciatic nerve is prohibited.
ונוהג בשליל – a living [embryo] nine [months old] that is found in the animal.
And the Halacha is not like R. Yehuda.
וחלבו – of the embryo is permitted. Another interpretation: and the fat of the sinew, meaning to say, the permitted fat of animals (as opposed to forbidden fat) is permitted according to al, but the Jewish people which is holy practiced a prohibition regarding it.
ואין הטבחים נאמנים – [the butchers are not believed] to state we take it because of the trouble it is for them to hollow it out. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Meir.
