Solution

To calculate the number of heifers the dairy needs per year, we need to consider the cull rate and the non-completion rate.

  1. Calculate the number of cows culled each year: 300 cows * 40% cull rate = 120 cows

  2. Calculate the number of heifers that do not complete the process each year: 120 heifers * 15% non-completion rate = 18 heifers

  3. Add the number of culled cows and the non-completing heifers to find the total number of heifers needed each year: 120 cows + 18 heifers = 138 heifers

Therefore, the dairy needs 138 heifers per year.
