byres

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

'wherein the cows' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'extras around mid-afternoon?' is the wordplay.
'extras' becomes 'byes' (I've seen this before).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'mid' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'afternoon' is 'r'.
'byes' placed around 'r' is 'BYRES'.

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for byres that I've seen before include "Barns for cows" , "where some of the stock may be kept" , "Cowsheds" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
