For example, 'I raise cows' would be 'Allevare mucche' isn't the best translation of 'I raise cattle', a better one for this would be 'Allevare manze' or 'Allevare bovini' 'I raise sheep' would be 'Allevare pecore'.

One last question - are there any cultural differences I should be aware of when discussing my profession with locals in Italy?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Italy has a rich agricultural culture, and many people in rural areas have a deep appreciation for farming and animal husbandry. When discussing your profession with locals, you may find that they have a strong connection to the land and the animals, and are passionate about sustainable and traditional farming practices. Being respectful of these values and traditions will likely help you build rapport with the locals."}]
