To find the percentage of Farmer Gibson's herd that remains after he sold 60 cows, we need to calculate the new total number of cows he has.

Number of cows remaining = Total number of cows - Number of cows sold

Number of cows remaining = 200 - 60

Number of cows remaining = 140

So, Farmer Gibson has 140 cows remaining in his herd.

To find the percentage of cows remaining, we can use the following formula:

Percentage = (Number remaining ÷ Total number) x 100

Plugging in the values we have:

Percentage = (140 ÷ 200) x 100

Percentage = 0.7 x 100

Percentage = 70%

Therefore, Farmer Gibson has 70% of his herd remaining after selling 60 cows.
