    A woman at work asked me would I milk their cows for them as they be a family wedding.
    I milked them the evening of the wedding, morning after and the following morning. I also went out twice to be shown what to do as it has been awhile since I milked cows. It was grand as it was a similar system to when we had a milking parlour.

    They gave me €200 which I think it is too much as it was only 10 cows and they are quiet. It took me an hour and 5 to do everything and 15 minute drive.

    Are you bragging or what?? €200 for milking 10 cows. Either take the money and run or say to them €200 is too much, here's a €100 back.

    I am not bragging I was asking what is the general price people give. I want to give some of it back as I told them it was way too much and I was delighted to helped them out. They having none of it and we were somewhere I couldn't give it back. So I plan to call to house to return some of the money.

    Fair play to them , they appreciated what you did and there was obviously no cock ups that could have cost them more than that .
    They probably won't want to take any money back now either but maybe you could offer to do another milking some evening to give them a break away . If they are only milking 10 I doubt they get relief too often so another milking off would suit them
