Morphology
shepherdage + practice
The compound meaning 'methods of shepherding' is directly and compositionally derived from 'shepherdage' (the act/field of shepherding) plus 'practice' (customary methods). Although 'shepherdage' is an uncommon form and might be unfamiliar in isolation, the semantic relation is transparent and predictable from the constituents, so a learner who knows the parts can infer the overall meaning.
Etymology
Shepherdage practice comes from the simple picture of a shepherd out with a flock, guiding, feeding and caring for the animals, and the word practice for the daily routine. That's why the phrase means 'the methods and techniques used in raising and managing sheep'.
