Finally got this one solved.
I have to admit that the final answer was a lot neater than I had expected, but it was still rather annoying to realize that I'd been very close for a long time - and I expect there's quite a few others in the same boat!

One little point about this card that hasn't been mentioned so far: the mistake on it by which one cow is identified as both "Tom Moos" and "Rosy".
For the record:

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

Rosy is to the right of Tom



BTW, am I the only one who's wondering why so many of these dairy cows have male names?

I am still stuck on this one.

I know I'm supposed to "connect the cows", but I can't get anything other than the "X" in the middle. Maybe the lower one is 141?

here is a very very very big clue, since lots of people seem to be making this one too difficult for themselves (me included, lol)

After putting my cards away at the abrupt end of Season 2 it's been nice to dig them out and remember the mix of frustration and elation when you solve a card on your last chance! I really like the cards with an elegant (and obvious, with hindsight,) solution.
