Farm animals need good fodder (5)
I believe the answer is:
goats
'farm animals' is the definition.
(goats might be kept on a farm)
'good fodder' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'fodder' becomes 'oats' (I've seen this in another clue).
'g'+'oats'='GOATS'
'need' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for goats that I've seen is " ruminants".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
