Long-haired bovine a woman raised (3)
I believe the answer is:
yak
'long-haired bovine' is the definition.
(type of animal)
'a woman raised' is the wordplay.
'a woman' becomes 'Kay' (woman's name).
'raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'kay' in reverse letter order is 'YAK'.
(Other definitions for yak that I've seen before include "Species of ox" , "Himalayan bovine" , "A long-haired Asian ox" , "Persistent talk" , "Shaggy-haired ox" .)
