Moutonshoek’s exciting young sire Marchfield is currently fighting to win the title of Canada’s Leading First Crop Sire for 2014.
The champion son of A P Indy currently ranks as Canada’s second leading first crop sire by prize money.
On purchase, both Chris Gerber and his partner in Moutonshoek, veterinarian Bennie Van Der Merwe stressed that they had carefully studied Marchfield’s first book of Canadian mares, as well as looked closely at his first foals and yearlings to be confident that his brief North American stud career would enhance his standing with South African breeders
