The CDF experiment at Tevatron has presently recorded over 1 fb^-1 of data. The experiment has a strong program in heavy quark physics, both at high and low Pt, particularly challenging from the experimental point of view due to the difficulty in extracting these events, both online and offline, over the large QCD background. Rather than decay properties, I will describe the measurements of charm and beauty production, both in terms of exclusively reconstrcted mesons, and of b-tagged hadronic jets, alone or in association with other final states (photons, vector bosons, etc.)
