Producers become long hedgers if they buy a futures contract (futures contract applicable to the type of feed or feeder livestock they plan to purchase). An example of a long hedger would be a cattle feeder planning to put feeder cattle in the feedlot in three months but wanting to establish a price and protect against a price rise during the next three months. If the producer could not forward contract the cattle with an actual buyer then the producer could keep growing the cattle and sell a futures contract for the month that most closely aligns with 75 days in the future.
