Where cowboys can be disorderly in extremes of rashness? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ranch

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

'where cowboys' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'can be disorderly in extremes of rashness?' is the wordplay.
'be disorderly' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'being disorderly' mean this).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'extremes of rashness?' becomes 'rh' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'can' is an anagram of 'anc'.
'anc' placed into 'rh' is 'RANCH'.

(Other definitions for ranch that I've seen before include "Farm on a large scale" , "Where to keep stock" , "US establishment for livestock" , "Cattle breeding farm" , "Spread" .)
