You could have a situation where cattle have recently been introduced as livestock - perhaps from a foreign nation. They can be useful for traction as well as meat, which a lactose-intolerant culture could make use of right away, and as noted there are dairy products that lack sufficient levels of lactose to cause problems. A character with the Lactose Tolerant Perk can drink milk straight without it needing to be processed first, so that's an additional potentially-cheaper source of calories if they're near a farm (or possibly if trading with merchants from that lactose-tolerant nation, provided there are means available to stop the milk from spoiling too quickly).
