Description

Pierce County, Nebraska Online-Only Auction bidding is live now and remains open through Tuesday, November 17, 2026, with a soft close beginning at 11:00 a.m. CST.

Peoples Company is pleased to present 155.94+/- acres of pasture and hayland offered in two tracts located in central Pierce County near Foster, Nebraska. Both tracts offer convenient access and are situated less than one mile from Highway 13. Reliable water sources and proven carrying capacity make these tracts well-suited for livestock production. Productive soils, established forage, and functional livestock fencing further enhance the utility of the properties. The property’s location provides convenient access to regional livestock markets and agricultural service providers.

These tracts provide an excellent opportunity for producers to acquire quality grassland in a tightly held area known for its strong agricultural base. Continued strength in the cattle market supports demand for high-quality pasture acres, enhancing the income potential and long-term value of grazing land. Opportunities to purchase grassland in the area are uncommon, with very few comparable properties having been offered for sale in recent years. The land has been owned by the Fuelberth family for generations.

Tract 1: 80+/- acres

Tract 2: 75.94 +/- acres

Peoples Company representatives will be available at the Norfolk office located at 800 West Benjamin Avenue, Suite B, beginning at 10:00 a.m. CST on sale day to answer questions and provide bidding assistance before and throughout the auction. The auction will be conducted online through the Peoples Company Bid Wrangler auction platform. The property will be offered in two individual tracts and sold on a price-per-acre basis to the high bidder(s).
