The word herding is the present participle of the verb 'to herd'; the present participle of the verb is also a gerund (verbal noun). The noun form, herding, can be used as the subject of a sentence, or the object of a verb or a preposition.

Verb: Grandfather was herding his cattle toward the barn.

Noun, subject: Herding was a skill of my grandfather.

Noun, direct object: My grandfather loved herding at the end of a day.

Noun, object of a preposition: My grandfather taught me a lot about herding.
