How about marketing 'free range' yearlings? The typical sales yearling isn't allowed to run and play to build up dense, tough bone; they are stalled and hand-walked so that they don't collect dents and dings that put off buyers. Of course, then they would look lean and fit and like the gawky adolenscents that they are, rather than fat, sleek near-adult-looking animals. Can't have that, you know.
