Given that 30 = 1/3rd of the total Dairy Cattle that means there are 2 more sets of 30 elsewhere. 30 x 3 = 90 Dairy Cattle total.

If 15 is 3/5ths of the beef cattle then that means that 1/5th is 5 (Since 15 divided by 3 = 5). This means that in total (Since 1/5th is 5) you can multiply 5 by 5 to get 25 Beef Cattle total. 

Overall 90 - 25 = 65 more Dairy Cattle total
