Steers round ten on inside bend (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oxen

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

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

'round ten on inside bend' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'ten' becomes 'x' (roman numeral).
'on inside bend' becomes 'en' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'o'+'x'+'en'='OXEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oxen that I've seen before include "workers in the field?" , "strong animals" , "Domesticated bovine draft animals" , "Draught animals" , "Lowers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
