  We evaluate different properties of baryons with a heavy c or b quark.
  The use of Heavy Quark Symmetry (HQS) provides with an important
simplification of the non relativistic three body problem which can be solved
by means of a simple variational approach. This scheme is able to reproduce
previous results obtained with more involved Faddeev calculations. The
resulting wave functions are parametrized in a simple manner, and can be used
to calculate further observables.
