Definition of "wasty"

Then, too, the market demand is not so much for the extreme early maturing, excessive fat type, but it is for a trimmer, “less wasty” hog.

1906, The Illinois Agriculturist, volume 11, page 239

A trim-middled hog will have a higher dressing percentage than a wasty, gutty, paunchy, heavy-middled hog.

1958, John M. Kays, Basic animal husbandry, page 269

Young animals are angular and slightly thin-fleshed; mature animals are slightly thick-fleshed, but irregular in contour. Fat covering varies from thin in young animals to moderately thick in mature animals and may be patchy or wasty.
