Lacking direction, run like a bull? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rudderless

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

'lacking direction' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'run like a bull?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'run' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'udderless' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rudderless that I've seen before include "Having lost control" , "not yielding power to steer" , "Unable to provide guidance" , "Lacking direction" , "Without steering mechanism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
