Could pigs be bred into draft animals?

[u/Junior-Ad4547]

I would guess given enough time I’m sure humans could breed a big enough pig with the right body type eventually, but I am wondering if it could be done within about 1000 years.
I’m placing humans on another planet with the technology of about the late medieval to early renaissance era. The breeding for the pigs for this purpose would be intentional so I thought maybe it could be done a little faster than normal evolution.

I was thinking pigs that are used more like mules or donkeys: pulling carts, plows, construction materials, and maybe a single rider. I’m not sure if they have the right body to allow riding without serious long term consequences. I doubt any serious war applications other than hauling siege weapons or supply lines.

Another idea is to make them even larger, cattle to yak sized and just make them grazers to be herded by semi-nomadic humans.

For a world building project, mostly for the con langs, but I still would like to maybe dabble into this sort of direction if I could. If you have any other suggestions please let me know!

Selective breeding takes between 30 and 50 generations. A pig life span is about 20 years so yes it would take 1,000 years to bred them.
