Angela Smock

Angela Smock breeds goats in Raleigh, North Carolina, on a farm in the central Piedmont region. She has been raising goats for over ten years and follows established herd-health practices with routine veterinary checkups, hoof trimming and parasite management.

The goats enjoy pasture grazing supplemented with hay and grain balanced by nutritional guidelines, and young kids are handled daily to develop calm temperaments. Confinement is limited to weather extremes, with goats free to move between sheltered run-ins and open pastures throughout the seasons. The herd is registered with recognized dairy goat organizations, ensuring clear lineage and adherence to breed standards.

Visitors often note the herd’s friendly nature and easygoing behavior, a reflection of the farm’s intentional socialization methods. Pasture rotations and cover crops support soil health and offer varied forage, reflecting the farm’s sustainable stewardship. A small family-run operation, Bucktopia Farm fosters close connections between people and animals and shares care tips with fellow goat enthusiasts.
