Preparations are well underway for the annual King Ranch Ranch Hand Breakfast

Saturday at King Ranch.

As many as 5,000 hungry guests have shown up at previous events to enjoy a hearty breakfast of eggs, sausage, beans and biscuits and gravy along with plenty of coffee and juice in what can only be described as a real cowboy breakfast cooked and

served by King Ranch Kinenos and community volunteers.

They’ll labor for the balance of the week and into the predawn hours Saturday preparing food that is measured in hundreds and thousands — thousands of eggs and hundreds of gallons of coffee and juice as well as thousands of biscuits and enough beans of feed everyone who shows up. Ranch tours and cowboy demonstrations are part of the holiday family fun, sponsored by King Ranch Inc.

The breakfast kicks off the start of La Posada de Kingsville, the community annual Christmas celebration. Proceeds from the breakfast fund other La Posada events.

Tickets are $6 and serving is from 7 to 11 a.m.

Enter through the King Ranch gate on Highway 141 and follow the cowboy guides the familiar Kleberg County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse campfires.
