We raise beef for custom slaughter, and have found it easier to sell halves and wholes when we have smaller carcasses. We have 60 acres with only 30 in pasture (since we started crops about a decade ago). Smaller cattle makes sense for us. With that said, this bulls frame size caused me to pause. I did however like the way he appeared to be deep bodied and close to the ground. Our last bull was a huge old bull raised from our own stock, we are in much need of new genetics.
