Jacob Hernandez, 6, a kindergarten student at Lackland Elementary School, tries to lasso a makeshift bull Jan. 26 during the 3rd Annual Lackland Independent School District Cowboy Breakfast. Encouraging his son is Army Staff Sgt. Jacob Hernandez, an analyst in Lackland's 314th Military Intelligence Battalion. The breakfast was "a rip-roaring success," attracting its largest crowd yet, about 460 students, parents and teachers, said the coordinator, Librarian Robbye Durham. She said students learn about Texas' ranching history in the week preceding the breakfast, held the same morning as the city's annual Cowboy Breakfast kickoff for the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.
