All extremely normal.

It's the brown on the top righthand side of the stem that makes me nervous. But then again mine do that too and are totally normal come weigh off time.

All looks very normal to me too. As long as it's hard and dry you should be fine. A little peroxide as a preventative is a good insurance policy too.

Stem looks great!! Like SoCal said watch that spot that looks brown where the stem meets the flesh in the picture!

Ok thanks guys. Matt thinks the white spots are just peroxide burns. I hope it's nothing! This is the furthest I've ever made it in the season so obviously I'm a bit neurotic.
