Morphology
modern + shepherdage
The phrase is compositionally built: 'modern' (contemporary) modifies a noun meaning the practice of shepherding, so 'modern shepherdage' straightforwardly means contemporary methods of sheep herding. Although 'shepherdage' is rare or unlisted, it follows regular noun-formation (shepherd/shepherding + -age) and parallels common collocations like 'modern agriculture' or 'modern farming', so a learner who knows the constituents can infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Modern shepherdage paints a simple picture of a shepherdage where a shepherd uses new tools like drones and electric fences to watch and care for sheep. So, it means 'the contemporary practices and systems used for sheep herding'.
