Where in Baton Rouge can you buy animal parts, such as hog's head?

I would try calling Chris’ specialty meats

Thanks. I'll give them a try.

More than likely, most offall will be frozen, not fresh.

I’ve seen hog heads at wal marts. Mexicans buy them.

Kelly's Meat Market on Plank will have them.

While at it, but a few "trotters" aka the pig's feet to add more collagen so it sets better when chilled.

I was up in Mansura, La. a couple years ago and got 2 heads and 6 trotters and made my own hogshead cheese and it came out fine.

If you can't find a head, you can substitute pork shoulder with trotters to make it that way.

I see them at Asian and Hispanic Markets, not in Baton Rouge though.

Many people today are using Boston butt to make head cheese. (Including Jerry Lee's) Does it come out better making it like this?
