Sensed one hiding among cattle? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heard

'sensed' is the definition.
(hearing is a kind of sensing)

'one hiding among cattle?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a'.
'hiding among' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cattle?' becomes 'herd' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a' going within 'herd' is 'HEARD'.

(Other definitions for heard that I've seen before include "Received aurally" , "Listened to (sound)" , "Was told of" , "Gathered" , "Traditional children shouldn't be" .)
