The answer

If your mother did not give away any part of her sacrificial animal (the sheep) in charity, and instead relied on your giving from the seventh share of a cow, this is an error. This is because it is obligatory for the one offering the sacrifice to give away some of their sacrificial animal in charity, even if it is a small amount that fulfills the meaning, based on the Almighty's saying: (So eat from it and feed the distressed and the poor). As for exchanging sacrificial meat, such as a father giving meat from a cow to the mother for her to give in charity in exchange for her taking meat from the sheep, this is a sale, and selling sacrificial meat is not permissible.
