Why do you need such a large number of cows to cycle and be submitted in the first 21days?
In the first 21 days of what? After they've given birth? Or during the start of breeding season? If it's the latter, the reason is that it's a sign of good fertility in the cow herd if the majority of females are able to cycle and catch (or be successfully bred) within the first 21 to 45 days of the start of breeding season. A shorter breeding season means a shorter calving season, and with a high fertility rate in your herd, that's less of a head-ache (if you are using the proper bulls on your cows!) during calving season because a) it's not going to be dragged out for a third of the year, and b) less labour if more cows can drop calves on their own instead of requiring assistance. A short breeding season also is a great indicator of which cows need to go and which can stay, based on how long it takes them to get back into estrus and get settled by the bull.
