Learned to be like a lot of sheep? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heard

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

'learned' is the definition.
('hear' can be a synonym of 'learn')

'like a lot of sheep?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'lot' could be 'd' and 'd' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'her' 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).

'to be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heard that I've seen before include "Perceived by the ear" , "Was told of" , "Gathered" , "Listened to (sound)" , "Got to know (of)" .)
