Be quiet and go up to find livestock (5)
I believe the answer is:
sheep
'find livestock' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'be quiet and go up' is the wordplay.
'be quiet' becomes 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'go' becomes 'pee' (both can mean to urinate).
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'pee' reversed gives 'eep'.
'sh'+'eep'='SHEEP'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sheep that I've seen before include "Source of wool" , "Woolly ruminants" , "Source of lamb" , "Animals said to lack initiative" , "Eg, a merino" .)
