If you get a beef head and you want to prepare the meat, you can put the whole head in the oven for about 8-10 hours or overnight at 250-275. Get a huge pan and cover the head with foil. You can make some great barbacoa this way. It's not like what is prepared in a pit, but it tastes great. Same with the pork and buffalo.
