Well some of us can actually produce stuff in that scenario, for instance if you want a steak from my supply of beef, you better bring more than an empty belly.
My beeves reproduce, so you would not be taking my last steak, but rather bartering a transaction with me.
Coins, gold, bullets, women (pretty women), could all come in handy in that scenario. ;^)

I think that it is safe to say that cattle will always have value in a survival situation.
