(b) The herd of cattles is grazing in the field.

This herd of buffalo(es) is in the field.

So, do you mean all the senteces correct above? When shall I use "a doves of ..."? Why "cattles" use "is"? but not "are"?

b) The herd of cattles is grazing in the field.

This herd of buffalo(es) is in the field.

Cattle is the plural of cows, not cattles.

The herd of cattle - one herd - therefore 'is'. If it just said 'Cattle' then it would be 'are'. The herd is.....the herd of cattle is.......the cattle are...

Drove of cattle - never heard this as a collect
