About Mini Highland Park – A Family-Owned Miniature Highland Cattle Farm in Lancaster, NH
Miniature Highland cattle farm Lancaster NH — Mini Highland Park is a family-owned and operated 43-acre farm located at 148 Old Granite Hill Road, Lancaster, New Hampshire. Founded by Joel and Regina Burks and now carried forward by daughters Ray and Franka Burks, the farm is dedicated to raising healthy, gentle, and beautifully bred miniature Highland cattle for families and breeders across the region.
The Story Behind Mini Highland Park
Mini Highland Park was born from something deeply personal — a family's love for animals, open land, and a simpler, more meaningful way of life. What began as a shared vision between parents Joel and Regina Burks grew steadily into a dedicated farm with a clear and passionate purpose: to raise beautiful, healthy, and gentle miniature Highland cattle that connect families to the timeless experience of farm life.
The choice to focus on miniature Highland cattle was never accidental. Joel and Regina recognized early that this breed offered something truly special — a charming, iconic appearance, a manageable size perfectly suited to modern homesteads, and a calm, friendly temperament that made every interaction with these animals a genuine joy. For the Burks family, Mini Highland Park was never just a farming operation. It was the beginning of a legacy.

A Legacy Carried Forward With Love
Mini Highland Park is today proudly owned and operated by sisters Ray Burks and Franka Burks, who took over daily operations following the passing of their parents, Joel and Regina. What Joel and Regina built with patience, dedication, and an unwavering love for these animals, Ray and Franka now carry forward with the same heart and the same commitment to excellence.
Together, Ray and Franka manage every aspect of farm life — from the daily care and handling of the cattle to the maintenance of the land and the cultivation of relationships with families and buyers who become part of the Mini Highland Park community. Theirs is not simply a business inherited — it is a calling answered, a promise kept, and a legacy honored every single day.
