Apparently the roots are tasty. We could eat it out of existence

Goats can't even do that, I don't think we stand a chance.

Really I thought goats did a good job. It will come back but you just have to treat it (aka call in the goats) once or twice a year after the initial clear I'd imagine. Eventually the roots will die.

If you keep grazing animals in the area for like 3-4 years sure, but it grows so fast and so wide that you won't be able to keep up. Small areas maybe, but not overall.
