Assumimg the Brazen Bull was a thing and that it was Greek, it wouldn't have been used for offerings.  The Greeks did their burnt offerings on an open altar outside the appropriate temple.  There's no record (or reason to believe) that they did it inside a metal bull.

Even in the stories that claimed it was a thing (once again, assuming it wasn’t the invention of a historian with a grudge) it was never used as an vehicle for sacrifices. It was claimed to be invented specifically as a torture/execution device. And, as far as I could find, the people of Akragas weren’t really ones for human sacrifice.
