    • Iolaus is a stunning male who ticks a lot of boxes when developing a superior breeding operation - looks, fleece, bloodlines, temperament. He also has substantial darker colour in his pedigree which we hope to exploit.

    Bloodlines

    His sire is Rustic Dawn Yahudi, a multiple broad ribbon winning son of the prolific 11-time SUPREME ALGOMA CHASKA. He is the sire of the SUPREME RD RIP VAN WINKLE as well as IOLAUS and 3 other broad ribbon winners from just 11 progeny. RD Yahudi is also a full-brother to the SUPREME RD COLUMBUS.

    His dam is Boundary Park Expresso, a multiple broad ribbon winner, who has proven to be a wonderful breeding female with her first cria (RD Indulgence) a 2-time Champion Grey/Roan fleece at Mackenzie 2018 and 2019 as well as a National class winner (2019 & 2020). Her 2nd cria is IOLAUS. Her 3rd cria is the dam of the multiple broad ribbon winner RD Femme Fatale. Her 4th and final cria to date is a very promising dark grey boy.

    • Iolaus has excellent fleece stats and has retained his fineness as has his dam whose micron has moved only 1.7 micron over 6 seasons while his 3/4 sister's micron has moved only 1 micron in 3 seasons. Iolaus retains a particularly attractive and superior fleece style into his Senior fleece

    Progeny

    Iolaus will be serving a number of our quality females and we eagerly await his first progeny.
