Some speculation of a Jared Diamond style. Basically a culture of humans ended up in isolation on an island, seeded by people left marooned with limited supplies. Among them was some seeds with which to start farming but no domestic mammals save a for some pigs. This was enough to establish a new if modest agricultural civilization, though one in which their peasants faced even greater burdens than their mainland counterparts as that overland transportation was dependent on strong backs pulling hand carts. As such they gradually began to use pigs to do the task. Pigs that proved to be better at the job were spared the butcher's slab, earning their keep as beasts of burden and getting to go on breeding. As generations past these pigs got bigger, stronger, more docile and more apt to understand and obey commands. The end result was a breed of cows that weighed between 400-700 kilograms, can get up to two meters long and and has a set of powerful legs. They're not fast, but they are powerful.
