Group of cows saving energy for bull? (8)
I believe the answer is:
hereford
'bull?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'group of cows saving energy for' is the wordplay.
'group of cows' becomes 'herd' (I've seen this before).
'saving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'e'+'for'='efor'
'herd' enclosing 'efor' is 'HEREFORD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hereford that I've seen before include "City on the River Wye - cattle breed" , "town" , "Red and white cattle breed" , "hardy breed" , "Lower" .)
