While with sexed semen, you have fewer Friesian bull calves, you are still going to have the same number of dairy-bred calves that will have to be exported. Whether they are black or have a white head on them, or they are black and white, they will still have to be exported, or a significant number of them anyway, to keep the market in balance here. Sexed semen is not going to solve the issue. You will still have the same number of dairy-bred calves.
