Haulage isn't likely to be much of a payer.

Something skilled like scanning or foot trimming would be more likely to make you a quid.
Fencing?

General cattle work is in demand. Tagging testing gelding dehorning dosing sorting not many want to do it

Cattle haulage to do it properly will need more than part time hours

I'd avoid show dressing, the time consumed vs income tends to be pretty poor.
it's fine if you're in it in a big way and doing livery, or if you are just wanting a few quid of pocket money.
Personally I'd say your summer would be better spent on a tractor or shearing than standing around Shows.

An AI run isn't too bad, as particularly if you sell semen, careful you don't get landed with stock, farmers are fickle creatures and you could buy 100 straws of a bull and end up being left with them.
It's worth bearing in mind that the AI man is easy to blame and you can easily spend a morning driving 50 miles for a few quid.
Synchro work pays better.

There's a reason for that.

I'd say scanning, it looks pretty good money for not a huge outlay, I think you could learn a lot whilst doing it.

No money in haulage.
Foot trimming could be ok depending on your location. Scanning probably the most reliable, paying work though once you get the kit.

Usually plenty looking for milkers if you're in a dairy area.

get a well paid job, outside ag, then run a few cattle, as a hobby, which will pay for a nice holiday, every year, if, if we are allowed to travel again. I follow some wanabee farmers, in the USA, they all start by buying calves, and using them, to build up a suckle herd, giving them the chance to actually achieve that result.
