"Herd" is the name Ubuntu developers give to milestone ISO images of
the development version of Ubuntu ("Feisty Fawn", the one that's in the
making, and will replace Edgy Eft in a few weeks).
"Herd" images are released every other week, Herd5 is, well, the fifth
such image that has been released so far ;-)

You can have a look at the Release Schedule of Feisty in the wiki:
