It was all due to the savage and wicked winter of 1885-86 that killed thousands upon thousands of cattle due to overgrazed rangeland and no winter feed. Barbed wire fences where only a minor problem compared to the wicked force of Mother Nature and Old Man Winter.
The decline of the cattle kingdom was brought upon by many things. With manifest destiny bringing people into the west, cattle were merely outnumbered and there were just less to be moved. Also, cattle were being mass produced enough to meet the demand of the people, so jobs were temporarily slowed.

Why do most grass eating animals stay in herd?
its the balance of the system... ecologically most herbivorous animals have this innate tendency to be in groups to protect themselves and most carnivorous animals have a tendency to be singular or to detach themselves from other members of the same group other than mating rituals. its a delicate balance evolved from the ages.
if the big cats have this capacity to be in groups no animals will survive this massive strength, so evolution has played its own cards in making this positive by making the carnivorous animals powerful and singular entities and the weaker sections to be in massive heard to protect themselves by their numbers against the powerful animals.
