Although the B0(s) and Lambda0(b) hadrons differ only in the
spectator quarks from the well-studied B0(d) and b+(u) mesons, they provide
a unique window on the physics of the b-quark. With no experiments
presently running at the Z pole, hadron colliders now provide the best
opportunity to study the B0(s) and the Lambda0(b). The collider experiments
at the Tevatron, CDF and D0, have collected large numbers of B0(s) and
Lambda0(b). Some of their latest preliminary measurements are presented
here, including masses, lifetimes, and charmless decays. Progress is made
toward measuring the lifetime difference Delta Gamma_s between the B0(s)
mass eigenstates and the oscillation frequency Delta m_s.
