Bachelor relating to sheep β€” and to cattle? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bovine

'to cattle?' is the definition.
(cattle is a kind of bovine)

'bachelor relating to sheep' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'relating to sheep' becomes 'ovine' (I've seen this before).
'b'+'ovine'='BOVINE'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bovine that I've seen before include "To do with cows, dull and stupid" , "Ox-like" , "Cowlike" , "Like cattle" , "dense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
