Female record for woolly ruminants (5)
I believe the answer is:
sheep
'woolly ruminants' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'female record' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'she' ('she' refers to a woman).
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'she'+'ep'='SHEEP'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sheep that I've seen before include "Farm animal" , "Woolly animals" , "Easily led people" , "Ovine animals" , "Gregarious animal(s)" .)
