That woman records trial, action involving fleecer

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheepshearing

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

'action involving fleecer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'that woman records trial' is the wordplay.
'that woman' becomes 'she' (I've seen this before).
'records' becomes 'eps' (EP is a type of record).
'trial' becomes 'hearing' (I've seen this before**).
'she'+'eps'+'hearing'='SHEEPSHEARING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheepshearing that I've seen before include "Clip" , "Fleece cutting" , "farm activity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
