This male is arguably Australia’s  finest black working male, holding a fine micron at nearly 10 years of age. He has proven himself year after year, lowering micron markedly from dams to progeny. More importantly, his progeny hold their micron and retain a lovely fleece year after year.
Julius passes on his fineness and handle with lustre, density and crimp. The proof is in the progeny, and apart from all the lovely females, he has sired numerous stud quality males. He is the sire or grand sire of a string of black ribbon winners like Elvis Presley, Dorchester and Downing Street - now all stud males working around Australia.
