The 920 kilogram "very beefy Angus" has been described as being of "high breed quality" and was the first entrant at Argentina's 132nd Livestock, Agriculture and Industry Expo on Monday.
"In this year of World Cup passion, we want to honour the figure of the winning national team," rancher Luciano Trappa said of the 19-year-old Mbappe, who won Best Young Player at the World Cup.
Trappa also talked about the "effort, sacrifice, dedication and work it takes to make it to Palermo (the Buenos Aires neighbourhood that hosts the livestock show)."
Ramon Gallarini, the head of the Curaco ranch's pedigree stock, called the bull a "very beefy Angus."
