Rear cattle? That's bad advice (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bum steer

'bad advice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'rear cattle?' is the wordplay.
'rear' becomes 'bum' (synonyms).
'cattle?' becomes 'steer' (steer is a kind of cattle).
'bum'+'steer'='BUM STEER'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for bum steer that I've seen before include "misleading information?" , "Dud" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
