Agricon is deeply saddened to share news of the passing on Monday, 29 December 2025, of respected stock and station agent, auctioneer and rural merchandising leader Tony Wilshire, father to our Managing Director, Todd Wilshire.

A former Dalgety stock and station agent and auctioneer, in 1979 Tony joined the family stock and station agency business Wilshire and Co in Tenterfield created by his father Forrest in 1960. Under Tony, and later in 2002 when son Todd joined the business, Wilshire and Co expanded into produce, rural merchandising and agronomic services in conjunction with the CRT group, and later diversified into providing local Thriftylink hardware outlets, with a network of six stores located in Stanthorpe, Tenterfield, Texas, Inglewood, Mingoola and Deepwater.

In May 2024 the Wilshire family announced the sale of the Wilshire and Co business to Pursehouse Rural, one of the nation’s largest independent and privately owned rural merchandisers.

🐂🌿 Natural parasite control with Agricon Supersulf Defender block : why garlic & sulphur help your herd 🌿🐃

If you run cattle, you know how much of a pain buffalo fly, ticks and lice can be — stress, irritation, lost weight or production losses. That’s where garlic and sulphur come in.

👉 How garlic works: When cattle are fed garlic, compounds like alliin — which becomes allicin — get metabolised and released through their skin and breath. This changes their scent in a way that seems to repel biting flies, ticks and lice. Over time this can reduce fly numbers and associated “defensive behaviours” (tail-flicking, stomping, head-shaking) that stress the animals.
👉 Why sulphur helps too: Sulphur has a long history in livestock parasite control. When supplemented via lick blocks or mineral mixes, it may act in two ways:
• As a repellent — excreted through skin/breath, making animals less attractive to parasites.
• As a mild insecticide — by creating a surface environment less friendly for flies, ticks and lice.
👉 Better together — garlic + sulphur: Many producers now use mineral or lick blocks combining both garlic and sulphur. The garlic provides a natural repellent and immune-boosting benefits; the sulphur adds a broader deterrent / insecticidal effect and contributes essential minerals for general herd health.
✨ What this means for your herd:
• Potentially fewer flies, ticks and lice bothering your cattle — less stress, more grazing instead of tail-flicks and stomping.
• Less reliance on chemical sprays / insecticides
• Improved general health: better feed/mineral balance, potential improvements in weight-gain, and overall productivity when using a well-balanced supplement.

🐄 Recommended Use — how to feed Supersulf Defender + Garlic
• Offer blocks where stock congregate so all animals have easy access.
• Monitor intake — ensure there are enough blocks so each ~10-15 head can access one block (or more depending on group size).
• Maintain supply especially leading into, and during, the fly-/tick-risk seasons.

✅ Why Newe Tra Lamb is a Game Changer

High Energy & Protein: With 6.9 MJ/kg of energy and 14.7% total protein, it's formulated to boost colostrum and milk production and support lamb growth.

Unique Grain Blend: The only lamb block on the market that contains corn — giving your flock an extra nutritional edge.

Packed with Minerals: Loaded with macro- and trace minerals — calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, cobalt, and more.

SarStart Included: to improve feed efficiency and energy availability.

Safe & Easy to Use: Recommended intake is just 30–60 g per sheep/goat per day. Blocks come in 18 kg, 40 kg, and 100 kg sizes.

No Withholding Period: Use without worry — there’s no withholding period for meat or milk.

🤝 Tips for Best Use

- Place blocks near water points to encourage consistent use.
- Provide 4 blocks per 100 head of sheep to ensure all can access.
- Do not feed to starving stock — because it contains urea, introduce it gradually.

💡 Farmer Feedback: Many producers report stronger ewes, heavier lambs, and improved survival rates — especially when supplementation starts before lambing.

💦Are your paddocks wet ? The greatest benefit from supplementing phosphorus deficient pastures is achieved over the wet season, when grass is green & stock are gaining weight.

If you’re running cattle, sheep or goats on country that struggles with low phosphorus — or just want to give your mob an extra edge during the summer season — Wetphos 8 is an excellent weatherproof all rounder.

✅ Why Wetphos 8?

High in phosphorus — supports energy metabolism, bone strength & fertility.

Weather-proof formula: tough enough to handle rainfall, damp and hot conditions without breaking down.

Low salt, so livestock don’t overconsume — they will take what they need.

Molasses-based with protein & trace minerals for added nutritional support.

🔍 The Benefit for Your Herd:
A lack of phosphorus can seriously hold back animal performance — think reduced weight gain, lower calving %, and weaker general condition. Wetphos 8 helps bridge that gap so your livestock stay healthy, more productive, and more resilient.

📈 How to Use It:
Place blocks where your stock has easy access. Make sure there’s plenty of roughage available.
