Goat: 45cm
Duck: 50cm

But if you use a more typical domestic goat, like an Irish Goat, you get a height of 80-90cm. The length is even longer.
But what really bugs me is that it simply uses some font it finds on your system, so on my slightly outdated Linux version it only shows about 70% of the emojis. I mean, if there was ever a perfect use case for webfonts, it would be this page...
His cow is about the average total height of a cow at 160cm.
He has an oddly short man though at 165cm / 5'5".
And he says the horse is the same size, but that would be only 16 hands. That would be the withers size of an average horse, but the total height of only a pony.
In anatomy, the arm is the part between the elbow and the shoulder. Below the elbow is the forearm.
With that in mind, 30cm for the arm is definitively a sound measure... and the name of the emoji is wrong. On every phone, keyboard and app.
tl;dr; what is commonly called arm is in fact arm + forearm. Don't blame the author for being correct.
And every popular implementation shows arm + forearm + fist. [1] Giving only one part of that as the length is just wrong.
Even if it were called arm, I would argue that that should be shoulder to wrist, since that's what commonly called an arm. It's also the definition that Merriam Webster has. [2]

I was just annoyed that GP seemed to diminish OP's efforts in building their page by nitpicking chosen lengths and terms, and I chose to enter the game rather than nothing.
Your comments are welcome and informative, thank you for that. Dictionaries are descriptive and not normative, which confirms the common use of arm as "wrist to shoulder".
Great. Since that's actually what it means, in ordinary English. What you call "actually correct" "in anatomy" is professional sub-language and has no bearing on this forum. (Or any other, besides fora for professional anatomists.)
Edit: Sorry, replied to your first paragraph before even reading the rest and noticing that you actually agree... I was already slightly annoyed by your previous post, so wrote hastily. I apologize.
