Question for the experts. I definitely agree that of the three posted, 227 is the best combo of correct and solid. When you watch him walk though, is the stride of his rear legs okay to you? When he moves and brings his rear legs up, they swing inward in a bit of an arc. When they come down, they seem to be in line with his front legs, etc., but is this of any concern as he gets bigger, heavier, and older?
It is really hard to evaluate without seeing them in person, but that short clip sure makes him look cow hocked! Especially the way he brings his back legs inside during the stride. When they land, they are almost pointed out, not forward.
The red bull has the most mass, but is so stoked up from all the muscle he can not even cover his tracks. He is to tightly wound. The first one is nothing but a wreck. When an animal arches their back to get around, you got big problems. He hurts, somewhere.
Just my humble opinion.
