I guess I'll be the first to comment.-  I like the bull for the most part, and would be interested to know his age, current breeding status, and pedigree...

+
nice masculinity, extension (from what I can tell with his head towards me)
long bodied
good hip,
above average bone

-
lack of for-rib, depth, and maybe just center body in general-- If he's a younger (<3) bull, and been on cows, I would just say give it time, and its just wear and tear on the bull...  If none is the case, then I'd consider this his biggest fault.
from my eyes I can see his rear right foot turning out- and thus bringing his hock in...

Other than that, looks to be a nice bull- and if he's bred right, aged right, and on the right number of cows should work real well for you

Pretty sure that wasn't on there.. if it was I'll look like at DA

In the first post it says he's 4, been running with 30 cows and is a Jazz bull. 87%...

Unless that was just posted people really need to read the first post of these boards...

Nice bull by the way. Looks really long.

to me, he's two bulls.  one from the rear shoulder forward, and backward from there.

he could be a little more masculine for me, especially in his head.

i would blow up his rib volume about 10-15%.

in your opinion, how much conditioning has he lost?  i'm not used to seeing bulls after their done running.  i'm blind for fat, like a lot of people.
