The production of b quarks in p{bar p} collisions in the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF), using the B meson decay channels B{sup +} {yields} J/{psi}K{sup +} and B{sup 0} {yields} J/{psi}K{sup *0}, with J/{psi} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} and K{sup *0} {yields} K{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}}, and their charge conjugates. Measurements of the B meson with b quark cross-sections integrated above minimum transverse momentum values in the rapidity range {vert_bar}y{vert_bar} < 1 are described. The first fully differential B meson cross-section measurement, in the same rapidity range, is also reported. Comparison is made to previous CDF measurements and to the O({alpha}{sub s}{sup 3}) theoretical calculations.
