Hi Em, Could 68d be several?

[Brenden]

I wasn't much help em, cannot do cryptics, have no lateral thinking, pleased you have completed crossword.

[emmie]

i hate it when there is just one left, can normally work these out.

COWERED = cow + anagram of 'deer'

[emmie]

bibblebub, did finally get that, cheers.
