Because living in northern Europe means long and dark winters with little ability to grow or gather food, so farming cattle for milk and meat over the winter months was pretty much the only way to build a stable, sizable, community before the industrial revolution. People didn't just come up with shit for the hell of it the way too many people these days appear to believe.
