Bison or Other Bovid Humerus (Needs ID)

I think I already know the answer here but what are your thoughts on this humerus. Found in a creek bank in southern Minnesota. 

Sediments in the area range from cretaceous to holocoen with a good amount of Wisconsin lobe glacial till.

Previously we have found bison, mammoth, and ancient horse...

Received a somewhat positive Bison bison ID from a palaeontologist friend on this today: ". That huge deltoid tuberosity does stand out, but seems pretty big in fully adult cows too (definitely not in juveniles though). Some of the characters are still hard to tell from the photos, but enough of it is lining up with Bison over Cow that I think we should move forward with getting it to SMM." (for further evaluation).
