having worked with badgers in the past they are timid creatures who will stay out of the way of humans, not vicious at all unless injured or cornered, although they are the largest British carnivore (can't wait for Lynx to be released!) they predominantly eat earthworms and beetle grubs, they might take afterbirth from a goat, or perhaps even a dead goat calf (but i doubt it as mum will protect even a dead calf soon after birth) but they're not miniature ground dwelling lions that will kill anything moving.
oh and by the way badger setts are highly protected (unless you can apply to the government for a disturbance license) so moving them on by disturbing them is a no no.
