He didn't invent cattle. Cattle have been around for far longer than Dr. Lecky has. He simply developed four breeds for his country, Jamaica: Jamaican Hope, Jamaican Red, Jamaican Black and Jamaican Brahman.
He really didn't discover anything, rather developed several new Jamaican cattle breeds, being the Jamaican Hope, Jamaican Red, Jamaican Black and the Jamaican Brahman.
You nor Dr. Lecky cannot "invent" cattle. The proper word to use here is developed, not invent. He developed several breeds of cattle for use in Jamaica: the Jamaican Hope, Jamaican Black, Jamaican Red and Jamaican Brahman. These breeds are, respectively, dairy and beef breeds.

Absolutely not!! Brahman cattle are VERY different from Angus cattle, just by looks alone! Brahman are Brahman and ONLY Brahman, NEVER labelled as Angus. In order to see if a particular animal qualifies as Angus is by getting a blood test done on it via DNA profiling. But obviously if it doesn't look like an Angus bovine, chances are it's not Angus to begin with.
Brahman cattle can live over 15 years of age, often up to and over 20 years.
