Congratulations to Peoples Company’s Jared Chambers, who was the agent representing the sale at auction of two South Dakota cattle ranches totaling a combined 8,075 acres. The month’s largest recorded land sale by REALTORS© Land Institute Members participating in the Lands of America Comparable Sales Program, these properties were auctioned for an undisclosed sum. These ranches sit in the heart of western South Dakota’s ranching country close to the small town of Faith.
