Sheep first in pasture? It's not on the level (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ramp

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

'not on the level' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'sheep first in pasture?' is the wordplay.
'sheep' becomes 'ram' (male sheep).
'first in pasture?' becomes 'p' (1st letter of 'pasture').
'ram'+'p'='RAMP'

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ramp that I've seen before include "Inclination - swindle" , "One's inclined" , "run around" , "Short slope" , "Sloping surface; swindle" .)
