Commentary
Putting saddles or coverings on animals to protect them from cold and the like is allowed.

Giving a butcher his wages out of the meat of the sacrificed animal is not permissible.
Paying a butcher his wages for slaughtering the animal is allowed. However, slaughtering it by ourselves is preferable.
