Brushes and feeds (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grazes

This clue is a double definition.

'brushes' is the first definition.
(grazing is a kind of brushing)

'feeds' is the second definition.
(grazing is a kind of feeding)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for grazes that I've seen before include "crops" , "Eats grass like sheep" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
