Dear,

I thought in a 2 Ways

Maths Way.

199 Cows = 199-200 Cows

199 Cows= -1 Cow

=200 Cows which farmer got.

Some funny Way

In field he counted 200th cow as Scare Crow (who look like a Cow in dark).

hahahh hahahha .hope it might be some correctness.

He is counting "again" and not "cow".

"A farmer had 199 cows in a field, Just to make sure none of those get lost he counted again and to his relief they were 199 only as it got dark, (FIRST SENTENCE ENDS HERE)

he got back with all the cows and started counting again!! but THIS TIME he got 200." (SECOND SENTENCE)

Answer: So he counted again until it was dark and it was 199, then he was unable to count. However when he counted later on properly when all the cows were there it was 200.
