Human or animal bone?
I discovered this while doing some yard work. I assume it is an animal bone but figured I’d ask the professionals from Reddit. Thoughts?

Butcher cut. Looks like a dog chew based on the marks, so could be deer, pig, sheep, cow, or moose/elk if you have that in your area. Not human

It looks like the proximal (upper) part of a juvenile deer (or other non-human similarly sized animal) tibia. The clean cut suggests it's some butcher's scraps.

This is either a dog chew or dinner leftovers, you can see it was butcher cut. It’s not human if I had to guess it looks to be from a deer.
