<p class="indent">Another proof for this approach is from the Shulchan Aruch and Rama YD 81:2 who write that if you have a cow which is certainly taref and its milk was mixed up with the milk of 59 unchecked cows we say that the whole mixture is kosher since we presume that the milk of the taref animal is less than 1/60 in the whole mixture. It is also clear that we presume that the other 59 animals must be kosher otherwise their milk would be non-kosher making the volume of the non-kosher greater than 1/60.

This seems to indicate that we view each cow individually and permit each one based on the majority even if all of their milk is mixed together afterwards. <ref>[http://traditionarchive.org/news/_pdfs/55-70%20Bleich.pdf Rav Bleich] makes this argument based on Shulchan Aruch.</ref></p> | <p class="indent">Another proof for this approach is from the Shulchan Aruch and Rama YD 81:2 who write that if you have a cow which is certainly taref and its milk was mixed up with the milk of 59 unchecked cows we say that the whole mixture is kosher since we presume that the milk of the taref animal is less than 1/60 in the whole mixture.
