Looks like white jasper with some butter scotch jasper in it.

Not sure if river worn or not to be honest with you. I just found them on our property after we had flattened out some areas

Doesn't look to be river worn. Good jaspers often look polished because of their hardness they flake like flint and reveal very smooth features. River worn jaspers tend to be duller due to the grinding force of water/sands over the surface that chips it out very finely often leaving a matte finish. Agates react the same way *both stones are similar though agate is usually a little softer*.
