Tough meat does come from old/worked cows, but braising is not the only way to tenderize tough cuts. The connective tissue can also be mechanically (cut in small pieces across the grain, or by using machines that use tons of needles to cut fibers apart) and chemically broken (Acids & enzymes).
Burning a cow would produce a lot of energy for a short while, but burning the cow's dung would provide less power for the life of the cow.
You could also tie a rope to the cow, push it off a cliff, and use the falling weight to turn a turbine. Although this would not the best way to get horsepower out of a cow.

I wonder how many horsepowers you can get from a cow.
The meat must be tastiest if the cows exercise every day: no fat.
"The meat must be tastiest if the cows exercise every day: no fat."
fat = flavor
exercise = tough and full of connective tissue
It would make a tasty braise though.

well, killing a cow in India is illegal; so no meat there.
they're religiously sacred.
That depends on how you get the horsepower out.
