Interesting idea, i love those kind of contests, spent a long time thinking about the original Agricola.
That said i tackled the game today and while i got to 93 points too, i dont see any way of getting more.
I doubt that waiting till the end of september will bring a bigger result.
But if anyone wants to try to prove me wrong, heres my way to 93 points, open for improvement:
Round 1: Expand (to the left), RSW (reed, stone, wood), take 1 horse
Round 2: RSW, build 2 fences for free, build Shelter to get 1 horse (build in a way to get a single-space pasture to the left of your cottage)
Round 3: 6stone, build Stall (2 spaces above your cottage), Expand (to the right)
Round 4: build Stall (in the upper right corner of the rightmost expansion), take 1 horse and 2 sheep, Expand (to the left)
Round 5: 15wood, build open Stable for 3wood (take 1 cow), RSW
Round 6: Expand (to the left), build half-timbered house, build 2 troughs (open stable, to the right of cottage)
Round 7: 7wood, build fences (a 6 space pature with a through to the right of your cottage, a 8 space pasture to the left), take 1 cow and 6 pigs
Round 8: take 1 horse and 3 sheep, take 1 reed and 7 sheep, take 1 pig and 7 sheep
Result:
24 sheep (+ 14 bonus points)
9 pigs (+2 bonus points)
4 cows
11 horses (+5 bonus points)
16 points for 4 filled expansions
8 points for buildings
= 93 points

I haven't gone through all these actions to confirm them, however I'm counting 9 points for buildings. If you built two stalls (1x2), an open stables (2) and the half-timbered house (5), that's 9 points. IF the rest is accurate, that's 94 pts.
