Cody talks about when it's okay to quit your cow and back off, and when you will lose points for quitting. When a cow is not engaging with you, you can quit and choose another. Be careful not to hot quit a cow when it is engaging with you.

When to Quit the Cow
Once you've selected a cow to cut, keep a straight line across the pen and keep it from returning to the herd. Keep pace with the cow by staying in line with his eye, and hold your straight line across the pen.

Once you've looked at the cows and their reactions, satisfy the deep cut by bringing out a bunch of cows at once. Then, single out one that looks as though it will be an adequate cow to work.
