May one clean out or clear the feeding trough of a fattened ox on Shabbat?
Synopsis
Cleaning out the feeding trough of a fattened ox is forbidden even if the trough is a movable vessel, as a rabbinic decree against doing so in troughs that are built into the ground (where leveling holes is a biblical labor). Pushing straw to the sides is likewise forbidden.
