You need to give more information as to how or where it was found. How deep of overburden was it found at may possibly help with it's age. Looks like it has been in the ground for awhile. It's most likely cow or buffalo.

Old Digger is right . . . it's a bovid (cow, almost certainly) radius-ulna. In cows, these two bones are fused when adult. If it's from a cow, it can't be more than a few hundred years old. Good for your comparison collection, though. For these long bones, an image of each articulating surface (at each end) is helpful in an identification.

Thanks guys, Im not even sure where this was found...many years ago by my daughter when she was 6 or so! I tried to take pictures of each end and they turned out too blurry to give good detail and then of course, my battery died. Ill try to get a few up later today!
