Ross

I believe the answer is:

shanks

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

'cuts' is the definition.
(shank is a kind of cut)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shanks that I've seen before include "Cuts of meat from the upper part of the leg" , "Walk - go by . . . . . . Mare" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
