    This shows you how smart cows that are handled all the time are. They are not scared of the human and easy to walk them to the barn and once they see the door that's open they know that's where they got to go. I remember as a little kid at my aunt small dairy farm hanging out with the cows then once old enough I started milking and a short time later they sold off all head as my cousins were all grown and married and too much for my aunt and one cousin to do. My uncle worked at a paper factory. I'm the very youngest 13 years apart from my brothers sisters and even more from my cousins.

    Try a carpet knife next time. They make them with replacement blades. They are extremely sharp and work better than the standard utility knife. Just ask my thumb it knows first hand. Another thing that may work easier is a linoleum knife.
