Caught the sound of many cattle (4)

I believe the answer is:

herd

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'many cattle' is the definition.
'herd' can be an answer for 'cattle' (herd of cattle). I am not certain of the 'many' bit.

'caught the sound' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'heard' (I've seen this before).
'the sound' shows a homophone (sound like).
'heard' is a homophone of 'HERD'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for herd that I've seen before include "Drove" , "Large group of animals" , "Stock of cattle" , "Collection of cattle" , "Crowd of cattle" .)
