Shave, as sheep (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shear

'shave as sheep' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for shear that I've seen before include "Remove a fleece" , "Barber" , "Cutter" , "Cut wool off (a sheep)" , "Cut sheep's woll with large scissors" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday.com and The Washington Post.
