Steven McBee Jr. Discusses FBI Investigation and Future Business Plans
The McBee family is going through a tough time as they navigate a legal crisis involving an FBI investigation. Steven McBee Jr. recently revealed to his brothers that they have been under investigation, shedding light on the situation that had been casting a shadow over their lives. With their father, Steven Sr., facing sentencing soon, the family is feeling scared and nervous about what the future may hold.
In a recent interview, Steven Jr. expressed the mix of emotions they are experiencing as they prepare for the sentencing. Despite the challenging situation, he emphasized the importance of sticking together as a family to overcome anything that comes their way. Steven Sr. is facing a felony charge that could lead to a potential 30-year prison sentence. This has been a stressful time for the McBee family, with the investigation impacting them on a daily basis.
As they face the legal challenges, the McBee brothers are also working on finding new ways to bring in income for their farm. They recently struck a cattle deal for brisket with Arthur Bryant’s barbecue in Kansas City, Missouri, as they shift their focus from row cropping to the cattle side of farming. Despite the hurdles posed by the FBI investigation, they are determined to find ways to support their family business.
One successful venture has been the production of snack sticks, a high-protein meat snack that has been a hit with customers. The brothers have been making about a million snack sticks a month, leading to plans for a new facility dedicated to beef jerky and snack sticks. This shift in focus has been a collaborative effort by Jesse, Cole, and Steven Jr., illustrating their resilience in the face of challenges.
As they navigate this difficult time, the McBee family is leaning on each other for support and remaining hopeful for the future. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Steven Sr.’s sentencing, they are determined to stay strong as a family and continue working towards success for their farm and cattle business.
