Yup. Chucking the one with bone taint. The other stuff may be ok. We will see.

Ok so lets stop calling this problem 'Bone Taint' it's 'gut shot' meat. When this happens, don't gut the pig. Instead cut the two front legs off leaving the skin on - just pull the leg away from the body and start the cut under the leg ( lower armpit) Take the backsteaks like you would a deer - these are the eye of your chops normally. then take off the backwheels cutting around between the pelvis and back leg and popping the hip socket. Stay well away from the Arsehole that's where 'shit happens'. This leaves the carcase un-gutted and the meat clean. Skin the legs at home. If you run the knife under the skin and cut outwards when removing the legs and later when skinning there wont be any short cut-in-half pieces of hair on the meat.
