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.
From dad's apprentice to concrete grooving expert: The timeline of R.C Adamson Ltd.
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.

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.
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.
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.
