@margsy,
I have a feeling that it should be STEER, and so maybe you need to try and fit the other answers around that.

I'll carry on thinking.

@Lordyaswas,
I have a feeling it should be stirk but what do I know?

Quote:
stirk (stɜːk)
n
1. (Agriculture) a heifer of 6 to 12 months old
2. (Agriculture) a yearling heifer or bullock


Now, it would be nice to know what R is too much.
