Have you heard of it?
Herd or herd ( rhymes with heard ) means a group of animals--cows, horses, goats, and some others--
Look, there's a herd of cows over there.
Large groups of people may develop a herd mentality.
Herd may be used as a verb ( action word) that describes taking care of a herd of animals, as a shepherd or goatherd does, or a swineherd--

Now that you know that, you can say--
" I'm sure I heard a herd of cows mooing."
