Description

CC Rider is a beautiful young dam out of our own Chateau Cerise and home-grown Man’s Obsession. If she doesn’t sell, she will remain here as a future foundation female—and she would serve equally well as seed-stock quality for any farm building or expanding a high-end herd.

She earned Reserve Champion at the 2024 PNAA IFA fleece show, and her fleece is solidly Grade 1. Judge Amanda VandenBosch praised her for her long staple, development within the staple, soft handle, uniformity, good weight, and remarkable production for only 13.8 months of age. Rider continues to pack on fiber as she matures; at three years old her fleece weight is 9 pounds, and we expect her upcoming EPDs to reflect that impressive production.

Rider is out of our dam Obsession, who never fails to produce exceptional crias—all females, and all high quality regardless of sire. This is a line of foundation females we are proud to continue. Rider’s EPDs are outstanding, improving every fiber trait in her offspring. She ranks in the top 10% for all traits except staple length, yet her actual fleece clearly shows she carries plenty of length. The other positive aspect of this line of dams is that they have great bone, conformation and overall large phenotypes. Her mother has had no difficulty with giving birth to healthy offspring or nurturing a cria.

As a yearling, CC Rider posted an AFD of 17.3, SD of 3.5, and a mean staple length of 100 mm. Her EPDs remain exceptional through 2025, and her 2026 histogram is available via the link above. She maintains her staple length now into adulthood. Colusa Riverside, we believe histograms should be done annually, and as a small farm we are able to provide our customers with these valuable tools to evaluate longevity of fleece traits. Her MSL percentile is 59%—not a low number, but still complementary to her overall fleece profile, especially considering how difficult it is to maintain staple length while keeping micron at or below Grade 1.
