CONCRETE GROOVING. CATTLE HOOF TRIMMING. FREEZE BRANDING
Serving Dumfries & Galloway, Lanarkshire, Cumbria, & Borders
Slippery floors and overgrown hooves kill profitability. I fix both—from the ground up.
THREE SERVICES. ONE PHONE CALL.
You're busy running a farm. You don't have time to coordinate three different contractors. I handle all three—grooving, trimming, and branding—so you make one call and tick three jobs off your list.
SECOND-GENERATION EXPERTISE
I'm Ryan Adamson. I established RC Adamson Ltd over 15 years ago after learning the trade from my father, Chris Adamson—a professional cattle foot trimmer with 30+ years of experience.
Today, I also run the latest Diamond Disc concrete grooving machines alongside traditional hoof care to keep your cows healthy and your yards safe.
When you ring me, you get me. My name's on the van and my reputation's on every yard I groove and hoof I trim.

Ryan Adamson
Second-Generation Hoof Specialist & Grooving Expert
You Get Me, Not a Sub-Contractor
You don't deal with a scheduler or a random lad. You deal with me. I take personal responsibility for the standard of every yard and every hoof, because my reputation's on the line.
The "90-Degree Difference"
Farmers stick with me because my work lasts. I use Diamond Disc blades to cut a square edge that stops slips for years. I don't offer a cheap scratch job that you'll have to redo in 12 months.
Local Knowledge, Consistent Standards
I've spent 15 years building trust in this community. Whether it's a winter grooving job or routine trimming, I turn up when I say I will, and I leave the job done properly.
Floor-to-Foot Expertise
Because I do both grooving and trimming, I understand how they interact. If I see claw wear in the crush, I can tell you exactly where your concrete's causing it.
Three Ways I Keep Your Herd Healthy & Your Floors Safe
Each service works independently. Together, they're a complete livestock management system.
Concrete Grooving
Diamond Disc grooving for safe, non-slip concrete. Reduces lameness and gives your cows confidence on every surface.
Cattle Hoof Trimming
Professional Dutch Method trimming. Prevent lameness before it costs you milk yield and vet bills.
Freeze Branding
Permanent, readable cattle ID that won't fall off or fade. Clear white hair branding that lasts the animal's lifetime.

Don't take my word for it. Here's what local farmers say
"Ryan came out to groove the collecting yard. The difference in the cows was immediate—no more hesitation coming into the parlour. Proper neat job."
"Had a lame cow issue for months. Ryan trimmed the herd and grooved the feed passage. Lameness dropped off within weeks. Worth every penny."
"Good reliable lad. Turned up when he said he would, did the job, cleaned up, and left. The freeze branding is crisp and readable."
READY TO GET IT SORTED?
Slippery yards and overgrown hooves don't fix themselves. They cost you money—in lame cows, vet bills, reduced yields, and culls you shouldn't have to make.
Book me in now to groove your concrete or balance your herd before a minor issue becomes a major loss.
