I purchased skins through Moperc once, they were excellent quality. Not sure if they're still into selling just skins, but as with most businesses, if there is a mark up they probably will.
Another option may be Drum Skulls. They don't have conga heads on their site right now but I expect emerging demand (a couple calls) would prompt them to source stock.
Manito percussion looks to be alive and well, they have cow and mule listed as available on their site.
As a funny aside, I played a drum with Ostrich skin on it once. Weird pock marked skin, super bouncy, no good for a conga but suitable for a novel sensory experience!
Burke -- you a bodhran player? I got one a while back, given my irish/newf roots thought I should give it a try. I'm having a hard time committing to training just my right hand to play all those strokes. Feels super imbalanced, after so many years on kit I'm a bit concerned it will throw me off when I go back to using 2 sticks instead of one.
