Mishnayos Yoma Perek 3 Mishnah 8
יומא פרק ג׳ משנה ח׳
Bartenura
בין אולם למזבח – all of the north of the Temple courtyard was fit according to the law for the placement of the bull, for all it was before God, and they would not place the bull between the hall leading to the interior of the Temple and the altar, near the hall containing the golden altar, but rather because of the weakness of the High Priest, so that the pain-staking preparations of the burden of carrying the blood from afar should not weigh upon him.
ראשו לדרום ופניו למערב – by law, the head was in the hall containing the golden altar which was in the west and its back was in the east, but lest it cast excrement and it was a disgrace to show its privy to the eastern side, therefore, its head was to the south and its tail was to the north, which was much better. But the middle of its body was between the hall leading to the interior of the Temple and the altar, and it would wind/curve its head until its face was to the west.
והכהן עומד – and his back was to the east.
בין האולם ולמזבח. כל צפון העזרה היה כשר מן הדין להעמדת הפר, דכולה לפני ה׳ היא, ולא היו מעמידים הפר בין האולם ולמזבח קרוב להיכל אלא משום חולשא דכהן גדול שלא יכבד עליו טורח משא מזרק הדם למרחוק:
ראשו לדרום ופניו למערב. בדין היה שיהיה ראשו להיכל שהוא במערב ואחוריו למזבח אלא שמא יטיל גללים וגנאי הוא להראות בית הרעי שלו לצד מזבח לפיכך היה ראשו לדרום וזנבו לצפון דהכי שפיר טפי. ואמצע גופו בין האולם ולמזבח ועוקם ראשו עד שיהיו פניו למערב:
והכהן עומד. ואחוריו למזרח:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.
