The Southeastern MA Livestock Association (SEMALA) will hold an informational event in Rehoboth to introduce ourselves and our mission to bring a state-of-the-art, local USDA-certified/Custom slaughterhouse to our region that will utilize the highest animal welfare standards possible. The event is FREE to attend and we look forward to seeing you there to answer your questions about our organization, membership to the Association, and the progress we are making in this endeavor. As a livestock producer in our region, your support and feedback are greatly appreciated. There will be hors d’oeuvres and beverages.
