Yes.
Bull is a shortened euphemism for the word bullsh*t.
Bullshit (also bullcrap) is a common English expletive which may be shortened to the euphemism bull.
Wikipedia
And from The Online Slang Dictionary:
3. nonsense. Euphemism for bullshit.
The meaning of bullsh*t:
Stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense.
From Oxford Dictionaries.
"you are so full of bull that it boggles the mind" has to be the best insult in existence.
I'd be more inclined to say "Yes and no" as opposed to just "Yes". (In a quote like this, bull could stand for any of its synonyms, really: balderdash, poppycock, horsefeathers, bullshit, crap, nonsense, etc.)
