Set this up as

10 = 40 (1/2)t/28

and solve for t in years.

10/40 = (1/2)t/28

log(0.25) = (t/28) log(0.5)

t = 28 log(0.25) / log(0.5) years = 56 years

Test the answer:

56 years = 2(28 years) = 2 half-lives, so the remaining amount should be 1/2 of 1/2 of the initial amount, i.e. 1/4 of the initial amount, and 10 mg = 1/4 of 40 mg.

Because of this, it is very suitable for the livestock, since the weather conditions are very nice, the grass is green for most of the year and it is in abundance, plus the region is clean, and also lacks predators.
