Badly run cattle indisposed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reluctant

'indisposed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'badly run cattle' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'run'+'cattle'='runcattle'
'runcattle' anagrammed gives 'RELUCTANT'.

(Other definitions for reluctant that I've seen before include "Not wishing to" , "Unwilling, hesitant" , "Unwilling to do something" , "Kenneth Grahame's dragon was" , "Indisposed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
