I was wondering what size bulls most people look for to use in their operation.
Our present senior sire is a 2200 lb frame 5(55.5 inch)eight year old, Diamond Prophecy 21P. he's a smaller frame than most of the bulls we use but has really nice easy fleshing daughters.

We run all angus cows red and black. Our red angus bulls is around 2,000 and 5 years old and black one is around 1,500 and is almost 2. Your bull looks great in my opinion.
 
Your bull's size is pretty much spot on in my opinion. That will make frame 5 cows in the 1200- 1350 lb range when in decent condition.

Everything about that bull is pretty much spot on imo!
