in the late 1990s, I sent a number of short bred heifers abroad, usually to Russia or Turkey. They needed to be registered, bred to an AI bull, and meet modest production standards. Daughters of cows that were short milkers (milk like crazy for 6 months, and then dry themselves off) still met the requirements. So off they went. Selling those heifers made the remaining herd better, and the registration papers got me some extra $$$ when I sold the herds (twice, to expanding herds).
As to exports, last I knew the US was exporting in excess of 15% of production. That is a recent (w/in 10 years?) development. For a long time prior, we were stuck in a 4-6% export slump. So I don't believe sending those heifers out hurt things at all.
Another factor in the $100,000 cow topic was the ability of investors to shelter non-farm income in agriculture. There was a group of farms in the next county under the umbrella of Dreamstreet. Buy a 60 cow farm, populate it with flashy, expensive cows owned by NYC types, and make competition harder for the man milking his own cows. When the shelter laws changed, the scheme died, along with several of the barns.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
