2 Samuel 6:

13 When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.
Did David sacrifice every six steps in 2 Samuel 6:13?

Perhaps initially but not all the way to Zion. There is a parallel account recorded in 1 Chronicles 15:

That was the summary of the initial sacrifices.

More sacrifices were performed at the destination, 1 Chronicles 16:

1 They brought the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God.
Sacrificing after every six steps all the way to Zion practically was not likely.
