Crossword Genius

Slow cattle run awkwardly (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reluctant

'slow' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cattle run awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cattle'+'run'='cattlerun'
'cattlerun' anagrammed gives 'RELUCTANT'.

(Other definitions for reluctant that I've seen before include "Slow" , "Indisposed" , "not being willing" , "Unwilling, disinclined" , "Hesitant, disinclined" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
