THE NAME ON THE VAN
About R.C Adamson
Second-Generation Hoof Specialist
I don't send a sales team. I don't send a sub-contractor.
I bring the diamond blades and the crush, and I do the job myself.
BUILT ON A 30-YEAR LEGACY
From dad's apprentice to concrete grooving expert: The timeline of R.C Adamson Ltd.
The Foundation
My father, Chris Adamson, establishes himself as a premier hoof trimmer in Dumfries & Galloway. I grow up passing him tools, learning the Dutch Method, and learning to read cattle behavior before I can even drive.
R.C Adamson Established
I launch my own company with a specific vision: to combine hoof care with surface management. I invest in my first professional concrete grooving machine to fix the root cause of lameness.
The Complete Package
Now serving Cumbria, Dumfries & Galloway, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and The Borders with Diamond Disc technology and Freeze Branding. The machinery has changed, but the high standard remains the same.
THE "WHOLE FARM" APPROACH
Most farmers hire a groover and a trimmer separately. That's a mistake.
Because I see both the floor and the foot, I connect the dots that others miss. I identify how your cow flow and yard condition are impacting hoof health.
- The Trimmer's EyeIf I see claw wear in the crush, I know exactly where your concrete is causing it.
- The Groover's TouchI don't just cut lines; I cut textures that prevent the specific injuries I treat every day.
