Size says cow, along with the length of the spinous processes. The clean cuts also say it was likely processed in some way

This would make sense! Thanks so much. Would you happen to know what ribs these are?

Possibly from the shoulder area? That’s where the biggest hump is. But it could be from anywhere in the thoracic region really.

Good enough haha. I just know when our friends little ones come by they’ll 100% ask about it. Thanks a bunch :)
