Your bones are most likely modern cow bones. The environment You found them in can stain bone very quickly.

There have been large cattle ranches in the area for a long time.

Thank you Ynot, are cow bones worth anything? their are particles in the leg bones that rattle around when shakin, does that tell the age any?  i have a skull i found in the crook of a old oak tree about 6ft off the ground , can you tell me what it is from , lots of white tail deer in the area , wilbur oregon also two more skulls

For id purposes it is best to show the item from all 6 sides with straight on views (not oblique angles).

A close up of the chewing surface of any teeth also helps in ids.

 

As per forum rules We can not do appraisals. Too many variables to be determined from pictures.

 

Regards,

Tony

I agree, that's the most probable scenario.
