They may safely graze to a well-known tune (5)
I believe the answer is:
sheep
'tune' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sheep that I've seen before include "Woolly quadruped" , "Farm animal" , "Woolly animals" , "Woolly animal" , "Members of congregation" .)
