Steve McBee Sr. Breaks Silence After Sentencing: ‘This Too Shall Pass’ – Shocking Life Update😱

Steven McB Senior Reflects on Faith, Family, and Farm Life After Sentencing

In the days following his federal sentencing, Steven McB Senior is offering followers a quieter, more reflective glimpse into his life.

The McB Dynasty: Real American Cowboys patriarch was recently sentenced to 24 months in federal prison and ordered to pay more than $4 million in restitution after pleading guilty to crop insurance fraud. While preparing to report to the federal prison camp in Yankton, South Dakota, by December 1, Steven appears to be leaning on the constants in his life — faith, family, and the land.

Over the weekend, he shared a series of Instagram Stories capturing what he described as a “beautiful fall Sunday.” In one post, a leather-bound Bible rested inside his truck while one of his pugs sat nearby.

“Gunnar loved the chill in the air this morning doing his zoomies in the yard,” he wrote, as the video showed the dog darting across dew-covered grass.

He overlaid the clip with Romans 8:28:

“And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”

Later that evening, Steven posted a golden-hour video overlooking soybean fields as deer grazed in the distance. His pugs, Gunnar and Conan, could be heard snorting and barking.

“Saw a few decent bucks out there,” he joked, “but these two knuckleheads scared them off.”

Earlier in the weekend, he shared footage of himself hand-feeding Rip, one of the farm’s longtime horses.

“Rip needs to be ridden,” he captioned the clip, adding that he might “grab old Jake for a ride,” referencing the family’s longtime farmhand.

Responding to the Sentence

One day after his sentencing, Steven addressed supporters directly, saying he was “touched beyond measure” by the outpouring of love.

“But the truth of the matter is I’m the lucky one,” he wrote. “Lucky to have been able to spend time with so many high-character young people. They made me a better human, not the other way around.”

He added, “I count my blessings every day for my family and the support they give me. This too shall pass.”

Why Steven McB Senior Is Going to Prison

In November 2024, Steven pleaded guilty in Kansas City federal court to engaging in fraudulent activity between 2018 and 2020 that caused economic losses to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Prosecutors said he underreported corn and soybean crop yields, resulting in more than $3 million in improper insurance payouts.

Although the charge carried a potential sentence of up to 30 years, the court sentenced him to 24 months in prison, more than $4 million in restitution, and two years of supervised release.

He must report to the federal prison camp in Yankton, South Dakota, by December 1.

Family Stands Behind Him

The legal battle weighed heavily on the McB family throughout Season 2 of the Bravo series. Still, Steven’s four sons — Steven Jr., Jesse, Cole, and Braden — have publicly expressed their support.

Steven Jr. recently shared a Father’s Day photo of himself riding horseback with his dad, captioning it simply:

“Love ya, Dad. Whole family is here for you.”

The message echoed the broader sentiment across the family’s social media: loyalty, even in difficult seasons.

Though his ex-girlfriend and the company’s CFO, Galina Saska, has not publicly addressed the sentence in detail, she has reportedly remained focused on helping stabilize business operations during the transition.

Preparing for What’s Ahead

With the December 1 surrender date approaching, Steven’s posts suggest a man focused on reflection rather than resistance. His days appear filled with simple routines: feeding horses, walking fields, watching sunsets, reading scripture.

For now, there are no boardrooms or camera crews — just open pastures, autumn air, and the steady rhythm of farm life.

“This too shall pass,” he wrote.

And as the countdown continues, Steven McB Senior seems intent on spending his remaining weeks at home grounded in faith, family, and the land that built his legacy.
