Principal Auctioneer

McDaniel Auctions was started in 2024 by Ryan and his wife Rachel. Ryan McDaniel, our Principal Auctioneer, is a Graduate of the University of Tennessee at Martin. He was also a member of the UTM Rodeo Team. Ryan grew up rodeoing while raising cattle and still enjoys the same things today. Ryan and Rachel live on a farm near Clarksburg, TN where they raise Beef Cattle and Bucking Bulls. Ryan started working in the auction business while in high school. He worked at the local livestock auction and has been a part of the auction business ever since. Ryan is proud to say that he has experienced the auction business from several different points of view. From the hired hand in the back of a sale barn, to being the auctioneer, it has been quite a journey. Ryan is thankful for this path so he could see the importance in each position of the auction production. Ryan and Rachel look forward to continuing to grow the auction industry by treating their clients with respect, honesty, and trust. The same way they would want to be treated. No matter the size of the sale, they understand the most important auction to you is yours.
