If the lady had moved away from the fence how could he have kicked her in the temple. I can honestly say I have never seen him kick. I believe he would only kick if you got behind him and he felt threatened.

That puts an entirely different complexion on things. She must have had her face pressed up against the fence and, if it continued butting/kicking her, she obviously
didn't move away. I was once butted by a goat, in Wales, not on my face - just the opposite. I can assure you I didn't hang around long enough for it to butt me twice.
I hope the goat doesn't have to be removed, it's not his fault if fools antagonise him. Remove every animal that could be a potential hazard to children and there'll be nothing left. Even the mild-mannered guinea pig can nip fingers - even if by accident
