Technically, it is "herding", which is intended contact with a boulder. "bulldozing" is unintended contact with a boulder that is in your path.

Bulldozing is ok. Herding (while in control of another boulder) is not.

If you are driving along, and there is another boulder in your path, that is bulldozing, and is ok. If you are purposefully going to the boulder to knock it away from an opponent (or push it to one of your alliance members), that is herding, and you better not be in control of another boulder.

Note: If you are going towards 2 or more boulders that are near each other, and you contact all of them, it can be argued you are herding the intended boulder, and bulldozing the unintended boulders.
