We report on mass and lifetime measurements of several ground state charmed and bottom baryons, using a data sample corresponding to 9.6 $textrm{fb}^{-1}$ from $pbar p$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV, and recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Baryon candidates are reconstructed from data collected with an online event selection designed for the collection of long-lifetime heavy-flavor decay products and a second event selection designed to collect $J/psi rightarrow mu^+ , mu^-$ candidates. First evidence for the process $Omega_b^- rightarrow Omega_c^0 , pi^-$ is presented with a significance of $3.3sigma$. We measure the following baryon masses: begin{eqnarray} M(Xi_c^{0}) = 2470.85pm0.24(stat)pm0.55(syst) , MeV/c^2, onumber M(Xi_c^{+}) = 2468.00pm0.18(stat)pm0.51(syst) , MeV/c^2, onumber M(Lambda_b) = 5620.15pm0.31(stat)pm0.47(syst) , MeV/c^2, onumber M(Xi_b^-) = 5793.4pm1.8(stat)pm0.7(syst) , MeV/c^2, onumber M(Xi_b^0) = 5788.7pm4.3(stat)pm1.4(syst) , MeV/c^2, , and onumber M(Omega_b^-) = 6047.5pm3.8(stat)pm0.6(syst) , MeV/c^2. onumber end{eqnarray} The isospin splitting of the $Xi_b^{-,0}$ states is found to be $M(Xi_b^-)-M(Xi_b^0)=4.7pm4.7(stat)pm0.7(syst)$ MeV/$c^2$. The isospin splitting of the $Xi_c^{0,+}$ states is found to be $M(Xi_c^0)-M(Xi_c^+)$ = $2.85pm0.30(stat)pm0.04(syst)$ MeV/$c^2$. The following lifetime measurements are made: begin{eqnarray} tau(Lambda_b) = 1.565pm0.035(stat)pm0.020(syst) , ps, onumber tau(Xi_b^-) = 1.32pm0.14(stat)pm0.02(syst) , ps, onumber tau(Omega_b^-) = 1.66^{+0.53}_{-0.40}(stat)pm0.02(syst) , ps. onumber end{eqnarray}
