Can a jersey cow can handle a brahman bull mounting her?
This would depend upon the relative size of the Jersey and the Brahman in question. Jersey cows are among the smaller breeds of cattle, and Brahman bulls tend to be among the larger breeds of cattle. It may be a better idea to collect the Brahman bull and artificially inseminate the Jersey cow if you really want this cross to happen. To add to what was mentioned above in the first sentence, a Jersey cow may be able to handle a Brahman bull if the bull was a yearling, not a fully mature 2200+ lb bull. To compare, Jersey bulls mature at around 1600 to 1800 lbs, considerably smaller than the average mature weight of a Brahmer. Thus, as mentioned above, if you want a Jersey-Brahman cross bad enough, it's possibly best to AI the Jersey cow with Brahman semen. Note, though, the bull from where the semen was collected better have high calving ease/low birth weight EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences) so that the Jersey will not have a difficult birth (dystocia) if she might if you paid little attention to such numbers.

What two developments in the late 1800s led to the delcline of the cattle industry?
From what I know, there was second the really bad snow storm in 1886-87 that resulted in thousands of cattle that froze or starved to death as a result of overgrazing and lack of winter feed. The first development, however was the outbreak of Cattle Tick Fever or Texas Fever in 1868 which originated in cattle shipped up from Texas, and was spread north and eastward, affecting and killing thousands of stock as the disease spread.
