Few escape with livestock (4)
I believe the answer is:
ewes
'few escape with livestock' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'few escape with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'EWES' can be found hidden inside 'few escape'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ewes that I've seen before include "Sheep (females)" , "Females in the flock" , "She-sheep" , "members of flock" , "Female sheep" .)
