It is forbidden to redeem a firstborn male Kosher animal.
It has to be given to a Cohen, who may sell it, but the buyer has to continue treating it with all the laws of a firstborn.
If the firstborn is blemished permanently, it may be sold live or slaughtered, but not in the meat market.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always
Verse: "but the first born ox... shall not be redeemed" (Bemidbar 18:17)
