Manure Amounts


I grow my plants in 5' x 10' x 2' raised beds.  The soil I use is a mixture of compost and manure without any natural soil.  My question is, how much composted manure can I use without going to far.  Unless I hear otherwise I plan on tilling in 4" of manure over the top of each of my three beds.  Since I plan on tilling only the top 12 inches or so of each bed, that will give me a mixture of one third manure to two thirds compost in the top 12" of soil.  Is this too much?  The manure is well composted steer manure from Home Depot.
