He’s athletic on the move with great feet and legs and soft, flexible joints. Tremendous testicle size and shape and a clean, functional sheath. He’s masculine through his shoulders, neck and head, yet maintains a smooth blend back into his stout forerib. Big ribeye and strong over his rump and loin, he’s’ as powerful as he is functional. Nothing extreme about this calf at all. . . except that he’s extremely good,” commented PJ Budler when selecting Julio as the Champion American and Supreme Champion Bull in the 2020 online virtual show, Cattle Kings of the World.
