Why do cows that eat green grass produce milk?
The process of milk is not directly linked to the cow's digestive system, no matter what colour of hide the cow is: black, brown, red, white, black-and-white, yellow, orange, etc. Milk becomes white because of the blood that supplies the cells in the alveoli that are found in huge masses in the udder. Milk has similar components to blood, except for hemoglobins and red blood cells which make blood red. These components that are fed to the milk secreting cells by the capillaries are what makes the milk white. Other contributors to the whiteness of milk are proteins called Casein that are found in milk.

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.
