Bvd is only transmitted to the unborn calf and its it that becomes a PI. Cow will not be a PI from that infection though could have a short term infection and show antibodies which would help her with immunity long term.
You could have PI cows carrying bvd though fairly unlikely as they mostly show symptoms.
Problem comes when a PI bull, Bullock, cow, calf gets into or against your own cattle during their pregnancy.
Tag testing will tell you what's there but only vaccination will protect from neighbouring cattle.
