וְזֶ֡ה יִהְיֶה֩ מִשְׁפַּ֨ט הַכֹּהֲנִ֜ים מֵאֵ֣ת הָעָ֗ם מֵאֵ֛ת זֹבְחֵ֥י הַזֶּ֖בַח אִם־שׁ֣וֹר אִם־שֶׂ֑ה וְנָתַן֙ לַכֹּהֵ֔ן הַזְּרֹ֥עַ וְהַלְּחָיַ֖יִם וְהַקֵּבָֽה׃

And this shall be the due of the kohanim from the people, from those who slaughter the sacrifice, whether ox or sheep: he shall give the kohen the foreleg, the jaws, and the maw.

On the daf / in context: The gifts apply to ordinary (chullin) animals, not to certain sacred categories that are invalid.
