He's kept busy stocktaking (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rustler

'he's kept busy stocktaking' is the definition.
(someone who steals cattle or stock)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rustler that I've seen before include "Horse thief" , "He stole cattle in the old west" , "Cattle thief" , "one whose stock-taking is dishonest" , "lawbreaker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
