But wouldn't more cows bring beef prices...down?

Assuming it was even possible. People die crossing the border and trying to get to a city. Now imagine it while towing an entire goddamn cow, let alone several. And transporting a diseased cow, you definitely wouldn't get far enough to feed anybody but the local carrion birds. The first symptom of anthrax, for example is usually a 'downer' cow, aka a large meat paperweight.
