Just looking over your crop/livestock plan here and, with respect, I think I may have noticed a discrepancy. Now I freely admit that what I know about livestock could be written on a postage stamp, so I may be wrong here, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention anyway, just in case it might help.
According to the homesteading books I have consulted on the subject, I think you may have overestimated how much feed you will need daily for cows. In your plan you say 100 lbs of feed per day, but my homesteading book says 10 lbs of grain and 50 lbs of hay for a dairy cow. Now I know your 100 lb number was for all grain feed, but 100 lbs is still quite a difference from 60 lbs. Even on an all grain diet, 100 lbs still seems a little high.

Cotton is a really bad plant to grow, i know you can make clothing from it but why not just use the sheeps wool?
I say this because cotton plants soak up alot of water... so much that the cotton fields actually caused a drought where i live. Sheeps wool can be spun really fine for summer clothing or less fine for winter. Its also really breathable and fire retardent. Just some stuff to think about.

in the scenerio that they break through ur defenses, then all your live stock would be kill. and there isnt anything show that you would have defense up other than the wall and the retreating battle stratagy. i would suggest that you move the live stock to the back and posting gruad tower in the front

Jesus mate you really have thought of eveything. Seems that you quite qualified for this job but I have to ask how long until this is complete? Or do you already have it?
