Yeah, but still Greek colonists in South Italy held so many cattle that it is where the name Italy came from. It doesn’t sound very efficient to do it for the meat only. Better goats them, they are more suited for a hilly terrain anyway.
It sounds like we need to know more to see whether cattle made sense there—maybe it’s that cattle are easier to manage than goats.
